Day 57—Laura Ingalls Wilder country

What fun we had touring Laura’s homestead and Pa & Ma’s house in town plus all of the other buildings. It was neat to see all of the places we read about in her voices.

Our breakfast was fancy, Charlie had a pancake man like in the book.

We had to dodge thunderstorms, but managed to see everything we wanted.

We took a wagon ride down to a school house where a teacher talked to us about how it was when Laura went to and taught school.

The kids had a little spelling bee. All of my kids spelled their words correctly!
