Little House in Missouri
April 6th, 2009
We awoke to snow in St. Louis! Low visibility but nothing was sticking on the ground. After a futile attempt to find and purchase some non-Cardinals St. Louis apparel we gave up and got on the highway. By 1:30pm we were in Mansfield MO, the home of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum. Both girls have been big fans of the Little House books and the TV show so they were excited. The house on the grounds was the home of Laura after she moved from North Dakota. She wrote all the books here at the age of 65. I must admit, it was pretty cool to see the slice of history. Lilly, especially, was very interested in the house tour and poked her nose into every nook and cranny. We headed east towards Tulsa and finally arrived in Oklahoma City around 8pm. Uncle Joe, Aunt Yara, cousin Alexis, and baby Adriana greeted us with open arms.
