Spring Break Day Trip
Today we got up early and drove to Starved Rock State Park, where we hiked for about 7-8 miles around all kinds of trails, canyons, etc. and really wore ourselves out! All the kids did a great job and we had a wonderful time! We all didn’t think we could keep up with Angela, but we did!
We took some absolutely gorgeous pictures and the weather was wonderful! You’ll have to see the pictures in our family album when it comes out. When we were done hiking, we ate a much needed lunch at the visitor center area, relaxed for a bit, and then drove home.
What a great but exhausting day we had. It’s so great to be able to spend time as a family when everyone is happy and enjoying the day! We only had one injury… Brittany slipped and sprained her ankle. She’ll be alright, but it is painful and she’s not feeling the best. She continued to walk for another 2 miles or so so on the ankle in order to get back to civilization. What a trooper!
