Wagons West- Day 2

Laura Ingalls Wilder Day....

As you may recall, Natalie did a big report on Laura Ingalls this year, so it was fun to return to her homestead in DeSmet, South Dakota to help solidify some of the things she learned. 

The kids experienced many fun, hands-on activities. They got to hang out with horses...

Drive a horse drawn carriage to a school house...

 Make jump ropes...

 Grind wheat...

Try laundering the old way...

 Attempt to play a pump organ...

 And do much exploring around the property!

 However, the BEST part...and the part the kids kept RUNNING back to was the...

 KITTENS!

Jon's not as much of a cuddle-with-kitties kind of guy, so he explored the homestead more while we played.  Surely there are kittens in heaven.  I love them!

What a purr-fect day!:)
