Ahh, fresh country air.
We headed with Dad to an out of town conference this past week. It was so peaceful to be hauled away to the rolling hills and country atmosphere of North Eastern Illinois.
The kids had a fabulous time hiking the trails around the lake, hanging out by the fireplace and swimming in a nearby indoor pool. We headed to the Mississippi River Sunday afternoon to spend a couple of hours at a Smithsonian Museum. We had a great time learning more about the history of the towns and people along the Mississippi. They were amazed at the "catfish" facts and were able to touch stingrays as they swam by their hands.
They took their costumes with them and went trick or treating in a nearby town on Halloween.
They enjoyed being away from the sounds of the city and were kind of bummed to get back to "school" today.
