Lake Pepin - June 11th

This weekend we went to Pepin, WI to meet up with Marti and some friends from the Cities to celebrate Mard's 60th (don't get me started). Though we don't have pictures of the dinner, we have a few shots from our other stops.

Here, we visit to the reconstruction of the little house in the big woods where Laura Ingalls Wilder was born. We just finished all the books about Laura, and are now reading "Farmer Boy" to round out the series. Notice Naura and Klarrie up in their sleeping loft!

We also went to the Renaissance Faire in Chippewa Falls since some friends from MSU were performing there.

 Here is Nora playing with the fairies.

 Klara gets a ride in a swan swing with her friend Bridget. Bridget and her sister Clare are the children of the friends who perform. They get the run of the place every weekend.
