South Dakota- Mammoth Site

The first day of our vacation we stayed in Hot Springs. The kids thought it would be fun to see bones, so we went to the Mammoth Site. It was very interesting, and we were the only ones on the tour so we had as much time as we wanted to ask questions and look around.

While we waited for our tour, they had a place for kids to "dig" for bones. They also had a place to color over the top of a mammoth with paper and crayons. The kids had fun with that.

Just some of the bones that have been uncovered.

This was in the museum at the end. The kids thought this was pretty cool, although Collin didn't stay in it long...he was afraid the bones would fall in on him!

The size of a mammoth. BIG!
