Scenes from Palmer Gulch

Although I admit that I chose it out of the tons of campgrounds available in the Rushmore area strictly based on it's name, the Palmer Gulch Resort/Mt. Rushmore KOA was a fabulous resort/campground. Upon checking in, we were given wristbands which were our "tickets" to resort activities such as the jumping pillow, miniature golf, water slide, multiple pools, etc. Although we were busy while we stayed there, we did find a few minutes here and there to take advantage of some of the activities.

The jumping pillow was a big hit with Matt. He jumped high, he did knee drops, he did seat drops, he bounced, he sat, he just flat out had a great time. Here he gets some good air.

You can tell by that smile what a great time he's having.

On our last morning, we made time for Matt to spend some time at the water slide. Since it was in the morning, the lines weren't bad and he got to make several runs down the slide. He enjoyed each and every one of them.
On his last run down the slide, he saw something floating in the water near the edge of the splash pool. Naturally, he had to fish it out.

It turned out to be a wee frog. It really was quite adorable. Since we had no idea of what kind of frog it was and since we had several days still in the RV ahead of us, he took it to the pond and set it free. Hopefully, it's still hoping around.
