Two years ago, this week, Kelly and I visited DeSmet, SD, one of the homes of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

We visited the DeSmet cemetery, which included “Pa” Ingalls’ grave.

We saw wonderful views of the titular prairie.

We visited one of the schools where Laura taught.

We saw a re-enactment of one of the books

Perhaps most memorably, we met an incredibly cute(and friendly) litter of kittens!

Kittens!
