Presho

What a lovely stop! Presho, SD is between Rapid City and Sioux Falls, along I-90. The population is 588, according to the sign. But what a great park they have here! It has an abundance of sites, but not too many campers, so it’s rather quiet. The playground was much loved and appreciated by the younger kids, and the fire pit was an added bonus (not every site had one). I enjoyed our time here. It felt like we could actually slow down and relax a little.

We’re currently experiencing a thunderstorm in Presho. Matthew’s putting Micah to sleep in our room. The baby is passed out in my arms in the main living space. The older boys yell whisper exclamations about how big and bright the lightning is. Genevieve can’t sleep because it’s too loud, so Marina goes in to the bunk room to tell her a story to take her mind off the storm. These are the kinds of memories I hope they remember. I know I will.
