Easter 2017

I love Easter!  It's such a wonderful time to focus on the Savior and his Atonement.  We do Easter baskets on Saturday so we can spend all of Sunday focusing on the Savior.  









 Some fun person covered our yard with flowers and plastic eggs full of candy, toys and money. 
 The boys loved this surprise!










 The boys always look so great all dressed up.

 Decorating Easter eggs!





We spent the day playing Nertz, Josh gave a lesson on the Savior and we had a special dinner.

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace

 One of the main reasons we went to Kentucky for spring break was to see the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln.  Having named our son after Abraham Lincoln we obviously love to learn and experience all things Abraham Lincoln.  
 A bible owned by the Lincoln family.




 The Junior Ranger program is so awesome.  The boys always love doing it when we visit national parks.  It makes the experience so much more interesting for them.
 I am not really sure why this cabin is in here, since it isn't the real Lincoln cabin, but my boys thought it was fun to see what Abraham Lincoln's house would have been like.  I can't believe the simplicity they lived in back then.  


 The Lincoln well

 We were sad this structure was under construction when we came (I am sure the boys would have loved to run up and down those steps).  This is the outside of the building the log cabin is in.
 This was on the property of Abraham Lincoln's childhood home.
 It was such a beautiful place.

 Skipping rocks.


I love that so much history it close to us.
