The boys and I went to the pageant last night with Grandma and Grandpa. I got some pics backstage before the show…

And some of the girls acting silly…

Grandma, Grandpa and the boys in the audience…

Victoria and Daryl joined the Greenbush Twins’ (the girls who played Carrie on the Little House TV series) fan list online together last year when Victoria played Carrie in the local Wilder pageant. Victoria got chatting with them and sent them information about the pageant, and they contacted Walnut Grove and will be coming […]
