VACATION. PART II.....

Pets aren't allowed in our cabin, so we got rid of the one that lodged there.

BTW, there are several of his friends that have continued to visit us on a nightly basis. Last night, they were talking about us. It went on for about 15 minutes. I should have woke Tim up because he didn't believe me that they were yapping in the kitchen. Today, the ants joined them. They are in the cereal boxes, but not in the bag of cereal. I threw the boxes away and put the cereal bags in the refrigerator.

Yesterday we drove the "Ohio Scenic Drive" which wasn't very scenic. Along the way we saw "Lincoln Ferry Park" which is where Lincoln ferried people to the middle of the Ohio River to their boats. The pavilion was full of ducks, here they are:

We continued our journey to the "Lincoln Pioneer Village" where there were 14 buildings that looked like the ones Lincoln lived in and visited. Elyse decided to sing a solo in the church.

When we get back, we are going to start school. Should we rearrange our school room to look like this?

The funeral building had a hearse in it. It was a bit dilapidated, but it still looked cool. Dad noticed that the springs on the hearse were leaf springs. Zachary seemed interested in knowing that.

Here is a cool bridge that we drove over:

Today, Wednesday, we decided to take a bike ride, hike and visit the nature center. These next pictures might jog your memory to my first four children. Remember this ditch, Erin?

Here is the view that we would have seen outside our camper 15 years ago.

We are standing on holy ground, campsite #91. Does that ring a bell?

Do you four older children remember this bike ride? Make sure you turn up the sound, it will make it more real!

On to our hike. This is a well that Lincoln used to get a drink from. It was full of spider webs, but the thought that he was once here was exciting.

We ended our morning at the Nature Center. It was very small, but interesting. Elyse loves dress up, she is churning butter now.

Nature Centers always have a window you can look out and see the birds. There weren't any birds this morning, but it was a great view of the lake.
