Marilyn wanted to take the girls up to De Smet SD, to visit the home of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Jenae is a HUGE Laura Ingalls fan. We have read her all the books twice and she has also listened to them on audio books. So she has a pretty good knowledge of Laura and her family. We left Saturday morning and made our way up to Mitchell, SD. Kyle was up in a rodeo there that night. We checked into our hotel room then took the girls to the Corn Palace. It was fun for the girls to see how the Corn Palace was decorated. We went to the rodeo to watch Kyle. It was so hot!!!! I actually let the girls poor bottles of water on their heads to stay cool. The rodeo did not go so well for Kyle that night, but we were still glad we went to watch him.
We got up early and headed out for De Smet. Jeane was so excited to get there!!!
I will try to get my blog post done tomorrow about our visit to De Smit!

Aubree was so excited to get to participate in the candy toss. She climbed the fence
and jumped in the arena with the other kids. We had no idea how much candy she would be
getting so we did not send a bag with her. She grabbed all she could hold with her little hands. |
