Abraham Lincoln

What fun we have had studying Abraham Lincoln. When our vacation came together and we learned that we would be driving through Springfield IL, I knew that we needed to make a stop to visit  Abraham Lincoln's home.

The girls have been loving it. We have read through 5 books on Lincoln's life. And they are still asking for more. Over the last couple of days we have done a few crafts and enjoyed some activities on Abraham Lincoln's life.





























We had fun making stove pipe hats and eatable log cabins. They were a little disappointed that the hats were more for show than for wearing, but that did not keep them from wearing them :-).

All there is to do now is to go and visit a few of places were we can see Lincoln's home first hand, and experience what his life was like.
