Abe Lincoln sites with 2 Grandkids

Kyle asked us during the winter if we could take him to "rub Lincoln's nose".  SOOO what grandparent could say no to that!!  Haley and Kyle came down and spent a week with us and over to Springfield we went.  Just made a day of it and took them to the home, tomb and museum.   Great place to take kids and get a history lesson and they don't even realize they are doing homework while having fun!!!  The kids took most of the pics....so enjoy seeing it through their eyes.

Outside Lincoln's home....

 the couch Lincoln sat on....as tall as he was I imagine his knees were in his chin!!

Imagine cooking your meals on this stove....Haley thought maybe not!!

Lincoln's desk.....a bit small the kids thought......

the boys room.....somehow after hearing about them, I don't think it would have looked this neat....

the maids quarters.....she got room and board and $1.50 a week.  

 Lincoln's nose.....here we come.....

 are you ready Abe.....two more rubs.....

 Yayyy.....I finally got to rub his nose.....

 me too.....

 inside tomb.....

 Outside museum.....

 hummm....could you live like this Kyle?

 reading by the fire....

 can you pick out the imposters?!!   :)

 Had to have a top hat for a keepsake.....

What a fun day we had inspite of the heat!!!  What's next kids????  We are ready to go!!  Love you both lots and lots.
