Our last stop of the Laura Ingalls Wilder tour over spring break was Walnut Grove. Mom had been there before so she was able to show us the sites that needed to be seen! I was a bit concerned that the kids would be disappointed when they realized the actual dug-out wasn't there any longer. However, much to my surprise, they were more concerned with finding the foot bridge (also not there!) that crossed the creek, the flat rock that Laura wrote about being in the creek as well as the table top land formation. Trevor even seemed to enjoy this stop (despite being sick for the whole portion of DeSmet/Walnut Grove). Emily and Erin had fun just running through the prairie grasses "just like Laura and Mary used to do". Precious, precious memories were made on this trip and made all the driving so worth while. Both of the girls have said...."Next trip, to Missouri!"
