Apple River Canyon State Park

We stopped at an IL state park on our way back to Chicago from Galena. Lydia loved tossing rocks in the stream and Emerson enjoyed the sunny warm breeze.

Galena, IL

The beginning of the summer we took a trip to Northwest IL on the border of Iowa and WI in the Mississippi River Valley. We spent two nights at a b&b. This was our view which was so beautiful. We were also allow to bring Elly and Elmer!!! I think they had more fun than Lydia and Emerson.

We went to a neat little cave one day in Iowa.

Lydia loves to walk the Babes

A ski resort with a gorgeous view

Bye bye, Galena.

Emory playing on his mat.

Lydia enjoyed hanging out in the laundry basket, silly girl.

They loved to pull every toy possible out! What a mess!!! :)

Trip to the Petting Zoo in Lake Geneva

Lydia and Alice had a wonderful time at the petting zoo. Lydia loved feeding the animals lots of green grass, and Alice got to enjoy a pony ride! Emerson also enjoyed soaking up the sun on this lovely April day in Lake Geneva, WI.

Baa!

Heehaw!
