Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead

We are in De Smut, South Dakoto, touring the Laura Ingalls Homestead.
It is a very fun, hands on experience for us.
We have read the books, and are imagining all that happened here.
Marv is being the tour guide for us, he loves history and knows
all the interesting facts that make the story fun.

We toured more in the town of De Smet, then drove to Lake Mitchel Campground. We crossed the Missouri river sometime today, and saw some of the flooding that we had heard about. The town we stayed in was about 15 minutes from the dam that was opened earlier in the year. We were told that a campground across town is entirely flooded out.

Today is Joey's 18th birthday!!!

Our prayer is that God will continue to use the talents He has given you to bring the JOY of Christ Jesus to others. You sure add a lot of spice to our family, and we love you!

We all went to a steakhouse for supper, then went swimming at the campsite.

Finished with cake and ice cream.
