Civil War Days in Wauconda

Over the weekend we visited the Civil War Days at a forest preserve not too far from us.  We walked through the different booths, visited the museum, met President Lincoln, visited with one of my knitting group friends who had a booth set up, and watched a battle reenactment.  The guns and cannons were really loud, but it was fun to watch!  It was a nice afternoon and we went out for yummy ice cream afterwards.
