From Mommy: Well, tomorrow morning we're off to catch our flight home! Before we finish getting packed and off to bed I'll post some pics of our field trip to Pepin, where Little House in the Big Woods was set. The boys and I have read the first 2 books (Little House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie) that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote. They're terrific bedtime stories to read together and we're planning to continue the series upon our return home. Seeing as we were here in Wisconsin, we figured we'd make the trip to see Laura's birthplace and take in the little museum honoring her.
Above is Carrie, Laura and Mary Ingalls and below is a pic of Solomon pumping the water spout and Malachi taking advantage of his brother's toil.
...and an antique wagon similar to Pa and Ma's:
Us overlooking the Mississippi. The Ingalls family crossed with their wagon and horses when it froze over. The boys were wide-eyed with suspense when Laura heard the ice crack and groan as Pa drove the wagon across with Jack the brindle bulldog trotting along behind. They made it in time to see the ice breaking apart where they had just been.

How fun ~ you and your sister always did like anything to do with "Little House on the Prairie"! How nice that the boys got to see things you've been reading about. Nice way to wrap-up your trip. See you SOON! Mom/Nana
