I learned a lot today. For one thing, it's pronounced "slew," not "slohw." A slough is a swamp or marshy area. I also learned how rope is made and how hard it is to twist hay. What I don't understand is how De Smet, population 1,089, has a Dairy Queen that serves butterscotch dipped cones, but Carmel, Indiana does not. Yet another reason to move to South Dakota. -Bridget
We got to ride ponies, see a old time school, and we got to ride in a wagon. It's a lot if fields and you can make jump ropes. I learned that life was hard, and I saw an old time church. I liked the dresses. -Susanna
I got to drive horses. I got to ride in a covered wagon. I like all the sight seeing, and I dislike the grass. I learned that life was tough. -Alex
Laura Ingalls Wilder was a simple girl, and her story is very similar to lots of other girls. She just wrote it down, and now she's a national treasure. It makes you wonder if you wrote it down now, in a 100 years people would read your life like, "Wow! They really lived like that?" And I think that's amazing. -Mom
I just think it's neat how you're walking across the grounds and thinking of the story and thinking wow they actually did this. They actually lived liked this and made a life for themselves. -Dad
