Starved Rock

Since my kids find it so absolutely thrilling to go to a "hotel house," I decided that one last adventure was due this summer.  So yesterday morning, we headed to Starved Rock in Western Illinois.

We got some pre-adventure pics in the backyard, since I've been so totally absent in the picture department lately...

Not sure where Leah got it, but that's apparently her new smiling thing....

Ha.

When we got to Starved Rock, Seth needed only a peak at the canoes to take.off.running.

But, we had to wait.

 

 

At last!!!

 Naturally, there were island adventures,

hunts for treasure,

and winning "gold deblooms."

 Captain Hook considered taking these two canoes (that weren't ours) but I convinced him otherwise.

Then, we had to take the obligatory two-for shot.

 Yes, she really does look at him like that....

Cheers to a great weekend.

Ahoy, Maties!!
