The train pulled back into the station at about 3:30 so we headed back to the hotel for more swimming and a late nap for Peanut. She was REALLY grumpy when she woke up after an hour and half and wouldn’t stop crying. Poor thing has a hard time when her schedule is disrupted.
I tried all the tricks, but she wouldn’t stop so I finally just stuffed her in her swimsuit (still crying) and took her down to join the other kids where she cried in my lap for a few more minutes before getting down to go sit in the water on the steps.
Then Daddy helped her jump in so she was happy.
Buggy was showing me some of her new tricks.
Back float.
And underwater somersaults. She can do 4 in a row!
And here’s Boo swimming across the whole pool.
Later, on the way home at the hotel pool she swam for real, no life jacket! I was so proud of her! I didn’t have my phone though so I couldn’t get a video. That pool was 3 feet on either end and 5 in the middle and she started on one end and swam across the 5 foot part to the other side! Yay Boo! We’ll have to take her swimming and get some video soon.
When we were on the train we saw a big sign on the back of a restaurant called the Chubby Burger that said 99 cent ice cream cones with your train ticket stub, so that night after dinner and showers we took the kids out for ice cream in their pjs.
It had a cute little counter where they waited for their cones.
Apparently in South Dakota you have chocolate, vanilla, or “twist” instead of swirl, as we call it. There was another place right across from our hotel called the “Dairy Twist”.
No matter what the name the kids loved it!
Nothing better than ice cream before bed!
