We acquired the tickets months ago and the day had finally arrived! Unfortunately, Aaron, was sick and unable to go with Amanda and the girls and I. As a result, twenty minutes before leaving, an extra ticket was acquired and granddaughters, Esther and Mercy, received a last-minute invitation to go along.
"Wear your prairie dresses," I advised. A flurry of activity ensued, but they were ready to go when we arrived to pick them up.

Ingalls and Mr. Scott dug by hand. The well was one
of the things that marked the original location of
Laura's 'Little House on the Priaire' Site
We met so many nice people along the way. This
lady was one of them. She runs the gift shop at the
"Little House on the Prairie' site and had quite a
story of personal 'Little House' connections.

There are several other buildings that have been
relocated to the 'Little House' site. One of them is
the Wayside, Kansas Post Office.
Another is the Sunnyside School

Well, that's it for PART ONE. In PART TWO I'll share more about the fun that we experienced at the Meet & Greet!
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteHello, D! Like you, I love this era, too! I grew up on 'Little House' books and, as you know, have a love for all things prairie. I was thinking about the 'Little House' cookbook last night. I haven't looked at my copy in years. Think I'll do that today. Thanks for stopping in! Congratulations to your grandson on his graduation! Blessings!
