We decided to go do something fun this past Saturday because it was the first time in 3 weeks Jeremy had more than 22 hours off of work. So we drove to an hour and a half to Starved Rock. When we got there and started bundling up the kids (it was only 40 degrees out), I realized that I hadn't brought Cora's coat. Luckily Will had lots of layers and was okay with giving his coat to his little sis for the day.
Will is getting to be a pretty good photographer isn't he?
Cora was a trooper, we hiked for 3 hours and she just hung out on her Daddy's back. This was at the end and it was all she could do to keep her gorgeous eyes open.
Will is starting to overcome his fear of heights. I'm so proud of him.
We were there at the height of the red and gold leaves. When the sun came out, the forest just glowed.
Will did awesome, he packed his water and half of our snacks all 4+ miles. He actually fell asleep in the car and both kids crashed long enough that daylight savings wasn't a problem for us this year.
