Last weekend we met a few hearty friends for some fall camping at Mississippi Palisades State Park in northwestern Illinois. Ten families in all - Pandemonium in the Palisades!
As you might suspect, the park is bordered by the Mississippi River and is dominated by the long line of steep cliffs, or palisades that run along its eastern bank. The view from the top is quite impressive.
Our camp site. The canopy and trailers in the background are in a big common area where we all hung out for meals and marshmallows.
The kids played hard, riding bikes, playing tag, waving glow sticks, and generally running amok. The boys even managed a relatively organized game of football.
Anya on her scooter. She thought it was cold. It wasn't.
Troy, Brad, and Troy burn some chicken and taters for supper. Needless to say we ate quite well.
My two favorite girls.
The whole crew on Sunday morning. The picture is a bit blurred because the photographer somehow forgot to set his camera back to auto focus. Oh well, we'll call it a privacy feature.
