Red Oaks

On 12/30, we decided to take a family hike. The weather was unseasonably warm (had to be close to 50 degrees) and it was a perfect day for a winter hike. The river had big ice chunks floating down it, which made for a good time watching.
Red Oaks has the only natural cave in all of Illinois. It's tiny, and barely qualifies as a cave, but the boys enjoyed "exploring it". Greg is nearly at the back of the cave in the above photo.Then the boys spent quite a bit of time picking up ice chunks and throwing them in the river, smashing them, and/or 'skating' on them.

It was loads of fun!

Thanks for posting all the pics. It is fun to see the kids since we don't see them much. I should put more pics of my kids doing stuff on my blog too.
