Lincoln Museum



Mark's parents asked us to meet them at the Lincoln Museum in Springfield.  Mark and I went when Nathan was a baby, but we hadn't been there since.  The museum is really neat...the kids even enjoyed it.  


Here's Nicholas with his Grandpa.  
We even walked around Lincoln's neighborhood.  It was a beautiful fall day.

I found an old book at a garage sale.... If You Grew Up With Abraham Lincoln , we started reading it tonight.  The kids both enjoyed it and *I think* are understanding about Lincoln's childhood.  What amazes me is that he was completely self-educated....less than 1 year of formal schooling...not even Law School..yet he was such an amazing writer and orator.
