Hello again everyone! :) So, Here is where I left off...

Monday~ We got up, took showers, ate the breakfast food we bought at Wal-mart, ect. We then went in the car and drove a little bit. We were going to Laura Ingalls Wilder's House where she wrote the Little House series. When we got there we went into the museum to buy our tickets to go into her house. We bought them, but we had to wait a little bit, so we looked through the museum. In the museum was items of Laura's and her family too. They had Pa's fiddle, Laura and Mary's school slates, quilts that Laura made, Laura's first sampler, pictures of the Ingalls family, One of Laura's dresses that she wore when she was older, Rose's things and soveiners she had from trips(Rose was Laura's daughter.), and so many other things! It was really interesting! :) You couldn't take pictures inside of the museum, but if you were allowed I would have taken Alot! :)

After a while they said that it was time for our tour through Laura and Almanzo's house! It was SO neat! It looked like a house I would want to live in! It was so cool, I can't really describe many things, but it was all really neat! They said it was how Laura left it, except all that they did was touch up the kitchen paint and wallpaper. Inside of the house it even had Laura's desk that she wrote many of the Little house books at! It was REALLY neat!!! If you ever come to Missouri go there! It is an experience you will never forget! :)

After we were done with our tour, we went to the gift shop and bought a few things. I bought 8 postcards because since you couldn't take pictures in Laura's house either, they had postcards of the rooms. So I bought many postcards. :) I also bought a Wagon Rag doll. :)

After we bought our things, we left and went to Laura's and Almanzo's other house that their daughter Rose hired a person to make for them. :) It was SO neat as well. They call it the Rock house. It was A lot more modern than Laura's other house. They said that it even had electricity! :) I thought it was so neat! :) I had so much fun seeing both houses of Laura's and Almanzo's! :)

Once we were done touring the Rock house we left and headed back to the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Festival! :) My dad listened to one of the Garden speakers there about raised garden beds, and Hope, my mom, and I listened to more music. :) It was fun! We left at around 6:00 there time again. When we left we traveled about 2 hours to the famous music city of Branson. We ate at a place there called Montana Mikes steakhouse. We didn't shop anywhere at Branson we really just drove through it. :) We may go to Branson some other time for vacation. :) Once we finished our dinner, we drove 2 hours back to our motel and slept. :)

Tuesday~ We got up, took showers, ate breakfast, ect. Then we packed up the van and my dad checked out of our motel. It was time to leave Missouri. Before we left though we went to a mans house that was the speaker my dad listened to the past day, about raised beds. We went to his house and looked at his garden. His garden and raised beds were Really cool! :) He even had a Green house too! We really want to make raised beds like his. :) After we looked at his beds my dad bought 7 bags of the same soil that this man uses from that man. Then we left. After we left we ate at Lambert's again for lunch! :) Then we headed for home! ;) It took about 9 hours to get home. We traveled A lot! Anyway, we headed for home. After a couple of hours we picked up Arby's for dinner. Then we traveled more and more. It finally got dark, and we were still driving. There were a lot of deer, they were horrible! We even had to pull over because 2 deer were close to us! They were actually right in front of the car next to us, and she accidently hit them. Though, the deer got up and were fine as I could see, the lady in the car next to us was okay too which was good! So that was pretty scary, but God kept us safe! :) We got home around 2:00 Wednesday morning! :) I am really happy to be home, though still tired! We have been resting this week and will start school again monday. :)

I hope you are enjoying reading about my trip! :) Look below for part 3 and Pictures!!! :)
