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.
