Eric had Good Friday off of work so we got all of our work done on Friday and on Saturday headed down to Utica, IL to go to Starved Rock State Park. When we got there we had a picnic and then headed out for a short hike. Here is Gracie getting a ride from Dad. (Eric was a good sport and let me put the moby on him to carry the baby). P.S I love it!
Gracie sported her cute hat to keep the sun off. She liked it I think, plus I think it makes her look extra super cute!
Here we are on the high point of Starved Rock (to all my family and friends out west, yes this is a high spot for Illinois, I know, it's sad). We are on the banks of the Illinois River for anyone who is getting their bearings.
It really is a pretty area. We hiked some more trails back in the woods.
Me and my honey :).
Dad and baby taking a look at the gorge next to us.
Not sure why, I thought it was awesome!
Baby is in this picture, she is just behind Eric's head.
We had a good time and it was nice to just get out for the day and enjoy time together as a family and time outdoors.
I plan on going there if we move back to IL!! This summer I want to get a hiking backpack, there are a lot of state parks near us I want to explore!
