Little Barn on the Prairie
In DeSmet, South Dakota at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Site.
After a long drive to Iowa from Tennessee we finally arrived for a warm and sunny visit with "A's" parents. As an added bonus we had a wonderful visit with Linda and the girls. Then on to South Dakota. We visited Sioux Falls and drove to the little town of DeSmet. Mom enjoyed seeing all the Little House on The Prairie places. It's always been one of her favorite TV shows. Okay maybe the teeage girls weren't as thrilled about it...but someday they'll thank her for taking them....WON'T THEY??
Next we saw the Badlands. It kind of looks like the surface of the moon out there. Hard to understand how someplace so bare and dry can also be such a palce of beauty. The lights and colors of the landscape change with every minute of the day!
Next blog we will visit the Devils
White Prairie Dog
This cute little guy was at "The Homestead" near the entrance to the Badlands
