Misc pictures from our trip! (LOTS of pics!! :-D)

The ferry we used to cross over into Ohio,
This was taken on the way back, as you can see we were in the front!
It was kinda freaky! :-)

****Lincoln's Childhood home****
This was the inside of a cabin which was a lot like the one Abraham Lincoln lived in as a boy. And the cabin was near the original location where Abe Lincoln actually lived.
The fireplace,
Outside the cabin,
The garden,
Sunflowers! Look at how tall they are!
A group shot outside the cabin.
Ok, believe it or not, I was standing in a hole in this picture, that's the only reason I look so short! I'm really not that short in real life! Really!! :-D

This statue was in a small town we went though on the
way to Lincoln's birthplace


I know you can't see this very well, but it's the Gettysburg Address

***Museum about Lincoln***

The little boys playing with 'Lincoln' Logs, get it?!



Statues of the Lincoln Family

Isn't this neat looking?
A close-up of it, the whole thing was made out of pennies!
Isn't that cool?!


A replica of Lincoln's birthplace,
or at least I think that's what this is...
See Elijah standing at the bottom of that flag pole?
Pretty tall, isn't it?!
We thought this was neat to see... a horse and buggy parked in front of a tractor supplies place! lol!!

This was at the Wal-Mart parking lot


A creek we had to drive though to get to a friends house... it's really not as deep as it looks.

Snakes Alive! Misc. snake pics

On the second day that we went to the Creation Museum, we went to a program called "Snakes Alive!" Rick Teepen was the 'snake' guy, he had 12 different kinds of snakes (Corn Snakes, African Rock Python, Milk Snakes, King Snake, several different kinds of Albino Corn Snakes, and an Albino Burmese Python...)
He also had a pet snake (the Albino Burmese Python) named Chiquita, he weighed 80 pounds, and was 13 feet long, the guy said when he is full grown he's supposed to be 18 feet long and weigh 160 pounds! Now that's a big snake!
Here are a few pictures from "Snakes Alive"
Mr. Rick Teepen with five different Albino Corn Snakes, Mr. Rick's assistant with the boxes of snakes,
Baby Albino Corn Snakes,
Aww, isn't Chiquita the cutest little snake you ever did see?! LOL!
Mama, Isaac, Sam, Elijah, MaryVance, Caleb
and Luke holding Mr. Rick's little baby! :-)

And here's a picture from Wikipedia's article about Burmese Pythons, and here's a better picture of an Albino Burmese Python...

Now don't you all wish you were there to see all those pretty snakes??!! :-D
