Prairie Days

We drove up to Five Mile Prairie this morning for their 10th annual Prairie Days. Since we've been reading Little House on the Prairie, the kids have asked me on several occasions, "What's a prairie?" It was much easier for them to relate to the previous book, Little House in the Big Woods, since we have 8 very tall pine trees in our backyard!

We had a great morning at Prairie Days. Some of the activities included tours of this old schoolhouse (very fun for me!)...

games...



tumbling...

prizes...

cupcakes (won at the cakewalk)...

(this is serious business here!)...

a hot dog, soda and chips picnic...


(they all chose Cheetos)...


and live music.

And these berries will be perfect in our Sunday morning muffins!

I just rejoice for you. You find the greatest things for your kids to do...and nothing far away or too costly (like a Disneyland trip.) Leave the pricey things for grandparents or aunts to do.

Did they finally get the "prairie thing"?

Hey Jared, you look like Papa!
