::Indiana::

Well, hello there Monday.
How was your weekend?

I hope it was wonderful and didn't seem to just  totally fly by like ours did.

We spent our weekend at a beautiful State Park in Indiana, about three hours away.

We stay in the Family Cabins and oh, it really is just so much fun.

My parents used to take us when we were little, spending the week

 there with aunts and uncles and cousins.

And now my little family is spending weekends there once a year; with aunts
 and uncles and cousins and second-cousins. 

You know how much I love that.

I think our family, meaning my family on my mom's side, take up about seven or eight cabins.

They are all close to each other and have electricity, indoor plumbing 

and are just the cutest little cabins ever.

These cabins are highly coveted so we make our reservations for

 the following year while we are there each year.

We always go mid-September and this year the leaves were just

 starting to change colors, ever so slightly.

The first picture was taken down in the creek where the waterfall is, which is my favorite spot. 

The kids love walking through the creek, on the rocks, right through the water over to the Falls.

Due to lack of rain the water was low and the Falls were not nearly as pretty 

as usual but still very cool just the same.

I said the Falls were my favorite spot, and that's true, but my very favorite thing about the weekend

 has to be the hayride. Okay, I think I might even be more excited about it than
the kids sometimes, it's that good. 

We go in the evening and it is just so nice and relaxing, it's about a
 45-minute ride through the whole park.

How truly lucky we are to have such beautiful State Parks within driving distance from us.
On our way through Illinois and into Indiana we pass several other State Parks we have
 never been to that I would love to visit a some point.

There's more pictures but I will stop here for today.
Hope everyone is having a great Monday and I hope you join
 me here tomorrow morning for coffee!
