7/11/08 On the Banks of Plum Creek in Walnut Grove, MN

Today we, like Laura enjoyed playing in Plum Creek. We saw the site they had the dug out home right along the creek. It was a hot day, so I could easily imagine how much they would have appreciated and enjoyed the creek. The highlight, however, of our visit here was the Laura Ingalls Pageant. In an outdoor theater, every July for 31 years, spectators have been watching performances of Laura’s life in Walnut Grove. It was fabulous, complete with awesome sets, live animals, and special effects of grasshopper attacks, prairie fire and more. We were all so thankful that the timing of our visit was such that we could see it. It made the stop very worthwhile.

Seeing the girls in the creek made me remember the part of the book (plum creek) where Laura is fascinated by the wild rushing water in flood season and almost drowns. Know anyone like that?

Prayers and love to you!

I am beyond jealous now! Have the girls read the books?
