On Monday, to celebrate the Fourth, Mom, Dad, Gram, Nathan, Emily and I went to Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It's kind of like Old Sturbridge Village, but it represents several different time periods. They were having their tenth annual "An American Celebration." It was really neat. I just love these kind of places anyway, plus they had a lot of extra stuff going on since it was the Fourth.

We got to meet Abraham Lincoln and hear all about the Emancipation Proclamation.
They had a lot for children to do, like gunny sack races, a cake walk, and a treasure hunt. For the treasure hunt, they had to find answers to questions at certain historical houses. Nathan came home with lots of prizes. 
They sold these delicious lemonades with half a lemon and a lemon stick candy in it. They were so delicious, especially since it was a hot day.
