Kankakee River State Park- Early Oct. 2010

Ya know- just one of those perfect days!

We cross the Kankakee River on our trips down to my parents. And now we have this picturesque day to know more about it!

Scott had a week day off and my mom had a half day of school. So instead of spending money at a pumpkin farm (which we ended up doing later in the month anyway!). My mom suggested a day of exploring at the state park. And it was just wonderful. I could have taken a million pictures. But I really just tried to enjoy the day and all of it's glory first hand.

It was warm and perfect! Thanks Mom for the great idea!!



Climbing the hill to get back across the bridge- who doesn't love the excitement of a bridge!


Crossing/running across the bridge

Sweet guy! He loved it! (we all did!)


My mom was taking some pictures of us... this is us down below the bridge


Ashley was so excited to get in! It was chilly! And rocky.


After hiking for a bit- we came to an outlook. Jenna and Nanna thought they spied a gator!!
