About Me
My name is Tami and I live in central Illinois with my husband, Larry and three children, Caleb (6), Camden (4) and Emma Grace (2). I hope you'll enjoy reading about my life as a wife/mother and about our family's adventures.
Meeting the Lincolns
Last weekend, we took the kids to Springfield to visit Lincoln’s Tomb and the Abraham Lincoln Museum. This was one of the things from our summer fun list.
Our first stop was the tomb.
The boys were fascinated with all of the statues of Abraham Lincoln in the tomb. They were very good and understood the need to be quiet and respectful.
Going through the tomb did not take long and then we headed to the museum.
We went through the exhibits (photos not allowed) and saw one of the shows “Ghosts of the Library”. We skipped the “Lincoln’s Eyes” show, since we figured shaking seats and loud noises would be too much for the kids. After lunch we went to “Mrs. Lincoln’s Attic”, which was all for the kids. They had a dress up area, a cabin kitchen, a dollhouse replica of Lincoln’s Springfield home and toys from that era.
The boys really liked the dollhouse and played there for quite awhile. Caleb also enjoyed dressing up in the soldier costumes.
Emma played in the cabin kitchen, cleaning the floor and cooking in the fireplace.
We had a really great time on this day trip.
At the museum store, the boys picked out the Confederate and Union soldier sets to bring home. They have enjoyed reenacting The Civil War since then.
