Grace And Emma Meet Laura Ingalls Wilder

Yesterday found the girls and I headed to Old Sturbridge Village to "meet" Laura Ingalls Wilder. She is perfectly portrayed by Melanie Stringer and the presentation was truly a joy to behold. We sat captivated the entire time (over an hour!) and were thrilled to get to chat with her a bit afterward as well. Little House on the Prairie has been a part of the girls world their entire lives. They have watched the show, seen the movie (which is much more true to the book) and we have read the book (a read-aloud version my brother gave us a few Christmases ago). So, with all this in mind it was no surprise that when I asked them yesterday afternoon if they'd like to go to the Village to meet Laura Ingalls Wilder that they instantly shouted "yes"! I am so glad that we went as it truly was an amazing experience! We hope that she returns to OSV for many moons to come!
