Hiking at Spring Lake

We enjoyed the last weekend of "summer" weather with a Sunday hike. We went to Spring Lake Park (in Streator). It's a great little park with lots of trails and a pretty "waterfall" to look at. The kids had a blast--we found all kinds of things on our hike... red berries, a hot pink plant with berries, LOTS of hedge balls, and some thorny trees. After our hike we enjoyed ice cream cones at McDonalds!

This is the little waterfall.

Sadie loves playing on playgrounds that have little bridges--she calls them noisy bridges. She loved walking over this bigger version!
