Naper Settlement

We had a wonderful time at Naper Settlement today.  Luckily the rain held off, and it was muddy, but fairly warm.  We were able to visit different sites around the settlement and see what life was like in the past.  We visited a blacksmith, print shop, log cabin, farm house, and school house.  Most of the kids enjoyed the school house.  It was a great learning experience, and wonderful day.  

Here is a look at the blacksmith at work:
