    This video is spectacular…nay, even magnificent. We laughed until we cried. We thought it was over, then we laughed and cried again over a dead bird song. Storybook Island is now a destination for us. Thank you for such a bright spot in the day.

    A number of years ago, Rapid had a flood. My aunt was up on a hill so was safe, but the city was severely damaged. Storybook land was damaged a lot, even some of the figures floated into neighborhood yards. I loved going there and Dinosaur Park when I was a kid … which was decades ago. Most of the figures in both parks I remember from the ‘70’s. I haven’t been there in many years. This was so much fun to see them again! Thank you!

    Love the mention of the Dinosaur 🦖 Park in Rapid City, SD. As a young girl, our parents took us to see Mount Rushmore and we bought the Mold-a-Rama wax dinosaurs. My Triceratops was blue, my older sister’s Tyrannosaurus was red, while my little sister’s wax dinosaur was a green Brontosaurus 🦕! The real name! 😏

    Although it's kind of actually the wrong color for it, as I was seeing the replica helicopter, I started hearing, in the back of my head, the theme song from the old-ish TV series M*A*S*H, because of the opening scene to each episode. Still one of my favorite shows of all time, and will likely always be.
