Christmas in august

Today we took the kids to Santa Claus Indiana ( a mere 20 minutes away).
There is a cute little place called santas candy castle that we got to visit. The kids got to make snow, play in the snow they made and I got to enjoy a nice cup of frozen hot chocolate (delicious!)
Next up was the santa claus museum,
The kids got to write a letter to Santa and leave it in his mailbox for him to write back in Dec.
John and I enjoyed reading letters dating back to 1930!(The kids writing Santa)

Next door to that was the santa shoppe.
What a beautiful place to shop or even just browse.
We sampled some delicious fudge, and the kids even got to meet Santa!!


On the way home we stopped by the site of president lincolns childhood. There are several trails leading to cabins and even Nancy Hanks grave (Lincolns mother).
