We recently revisited the Ingalls Homestead in De Smet with most of the Van Egdom family. The kids had a lot of fun with the animals & activities & all their cousins!
The cats were very pretty and surprisingly tolerant of being handled by all the little hands.
Ryan had his first pony ride. He enjoyed it,
although he kept his toes curled tightly around the
front edge of the saddle the entire time. : )
Luke & Evan & two kittens in the stagecoach
They each got to turn the crank to make a piece of rope in whatever colors they chose. Here goes Luke.
Evan’s turn
Kara, too
Making the ropes required a strong hold on the opposite end. Luke couldn’t quite hang onto it, so Grandpa helped him out. : )
Jenna & Leah admiring the beautiful horses. Their names were Sam & David,
just like in the Little House books
We all enjoyed the covered wagon ride
Marie, Kara, Willem, Levi, Evan, Luke, Kate, & Lanae
Each of the kids got a turn sitting in the front seat and holding the reins.
It was definitely a highlight of the day for many of them! : )
