Over Spring Break we took a day trip to visit Walnut Grove, the famous town in Minnesota where Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote her stories. I grew up watching the Little House on the Prairie and a while back I bought the DVDs for my kids to watch. So we wanted to visit this place while we live so close. Along the way, we stopped and took a little hike to see these Petroglyphs. There were thousands of pictures carved in the rock. My camera battery died, so I just have a few pictures of the things Kiley snapped along the way...
While in Walnut Grove, the kids bought this slate and a slate pencil as a souvenir. They had fun pretending they went to school with Laura and Mary.
We also passed this town called Sleepy Eye, which I remembered from the show. I was surprised that it was a real town. 
We stopped at this park for a picnic lunch.
