Forest Preserve

Weekend requirements of late:

1. Free

2. Fun

3. Outdoor

4. Does not induce complaining

5. Is not completely exhausting

6. Close

We can never meet all our requirements but 5 out of 6 is pretty good. Complaining seems to follow us wherever we go. But, we didn't pay much attention this time and it was quickly overcome as we observed beauty all around us.

Fall Beauty just 10 minutes from our house. Gotta love Cook County Forest Preserves.

Katherine tolerates Mommy time while actually dreaming of being with Daddy. She is often like a third leg for him. :)

We both enjoyed experiencing nature with our kiddos.

Aren't they adorable? Anna was dressed for adventure!

I would give my life for any one of these girls. Love them!
