Sioux Falls - Day 2

We were slow to get up and moving this morning.  All the traveling we have been doing over the past week or so caught up to us.  But at around noon time, we once again got in the car for a short ride to downtown Sioux Falls.

Our first stop was at THE Sioux Falls.  It is not a really high water fall, but it is rather low.  The water flows over quartzsite rocks around a pretty park.

We walked around the park and climbed on the rocks where the water was low

In Sioux Falls, they offer a free trolley from the Falls Park that goes around down town throughout the day.  So, after walking around the park, we boarded the trolley and went for a walk in downtown Sioux Falls.

Downtown Sioux Falls is small, but a neat town to walk around

They had a sculpture walk down town with many different types of sculptures.

Waiting for the trolley

After walking around downtown for awhile, we got back on the trolley and took it back to the park and headed home for a little while.  While stopped at a light, this was the back of the truck we were stopped behind.  I had never seen anything like it and it was really gross:

That evening, we met the Sioux Falls DeWits at a park for some pizza.  It was so nice seeing everyone and spending time visiting.  Unfortunately, I was so busy visiting that I forgot to take photos.  After pizza, we walked down to the softball fields to watch a couple of the younger cousins play some softball.

Then we went to Burger King, where Aunt Mary treated us all to ice cream cones.  Something that I have noticed about the midwest is that everything shuts down so early.  It seems that by 7 p.m. just about everything is closed.  Burger King closed at 10 (they had to unlock the doors to let us out!)

What a fun group of people we were fortunate to visit.  I hope we can do it again soon!
