Friday - October 17

Nice and sunny this morning.....we were off with Liam and Connor at 7:45 for Grandparents Day.   3 hours of fun visiting their classrooms, doing craft projects, playing bingo, eating donuts, and visited the book fair with new purchases  
 
This afternoon I gave my presentation on our Windstar Cruise "The Splendors of Southern Spain" to my PEO Chapter.    And then Anne brought the boys over after school and they hopped on Daisy and we were off to Starved Rock.
 
Mark was busy all afternoon finishing up getting Daisy ready to tow Toad (1st time with my new car).     We arrived at our Campsite #111 at 5:10.   This is our first time here and what a pretty park with "No Vacancy" signs  - packed to the gills tonight.    The boys loved hiking and hit some trails, ran downhill, and just enjoyed being out with nature - Boys will be Boys!!!    
 Grandpa built a nice fire.
 
Unfortunately the sunshine didn't last too long.....really clouded up this afternoon, very windy and chilly.    Almost looked like it could snow!!!!!
 
The boys found a new friend, Reid from Chicago and they played catch with hedge apples.
 
After supper, we roasted s'mores.and had popcorn.
 
Off to Grandparents Day
 
Campground fun in the woods
 
Grandpa and the Goobers
 
Nothing like a roaring campfire
 
We should all sleep good tonight!
