After we visited Uncle Ezra and Aunt Marie we drove to De Smet, SD, one of the communities where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived. Volunteers put on a pageant 3 weekends in July every year based on one of the books that cover her life in that vicinity. The pageant covers a different book each year - I'm not sure how many books cover De Smet.
This picture isn't the best but it shows the homeplace in the background.
I don't know why my smile looks so goofy, I guess I was concentrating, but the rest of the family looks pretty good.

Chad put Jolene's name in a list of volunteers not knowing what she would be asked to do. He figured she would enjoy taking part. I think she felt silly in the end playing games like that in front of everyone but she had a good time.
