Vacation Day 4 - Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial

Today we woke up and walked from Lincoln State Park, to the Lincoln Boyhood memorial.  


Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.  


This memorial was beautiful.  Carved scenes depicting Lincoln's life in limestone.  Every aspect of the memorial is so fitting to Southern Indiana and our history.




This is the foot print of the actual cabin Lincoln lived in during his time in Indiana. 

This is the Lincoln farm at the memorial. This is a living history farm.

Finishing the trail back to the Memorial.

My two new Junior Rangers!  They worked hard to earn their badge and learned a lot about Lincoln and Indiana History. 

In the afternoon, we loaded up and headed to the Santa Stables.  It was both Devin and Tate's first time riding a horse.  It's always fun to check things off their bucket lists.  

Tate on his horse.  They are trail horses and trained to walk nose to tail in a line.  They were very well behaved.

Heading out onto the trail.


Tate was all smiles.


Headed up the trail. 


Devin was a little unsure at first, but ended up really enjoying the horse back ride.

Smiling for the camera.  After we finished the horse back ride, we headed to Holiday World to spend the evening in the water park.  We were able to ride several rides before a huge thunderstorm blew up.  We hurried to get out of the park and back to the camper before the rain really hit.  We made it back to the car, right about the time it started to down pour.  We had planned to cook hot dogs over the fire, but due to all the rain, we ended up eating some microwave pizza, chicken legs, and potato wedges inside the camper.  We enjoyed a movie night with popcorn.  Not a bad alternative given the weather.
