We just finished the part where Pa builds the log cabin, and they noticed how it was a lot like Lincoln Logs.
I shared the story of Dick Proenneke's life, and how he had a dream of living off the land in the Alaskan wilderness. He built his cabin from scratch using nothing but hand tools, just like Pa!
As we watched the DVD, we found out that he was a writer (he kept a journal of his adventures) and a mathematician (he used lots of measuring tools to build his cabin).
Here are some highlights of the DVD:

We pulled out our class Lincoln Logs and tried our hand at building.
