Family Fall Festivities and Fun and Frolic

 Stayed at a comfy cabin in Shannon, IL and enjoyed gorgeous grounds.

 Mississippi Palisades

One day we headed to the Mississippi Palisades State Park, then crossed the bridge into the only island city in Iowa: Sabula (affectionately called "sa-BOO-la").

 At the lookout, we saw eagles in the sky and a train in the valley.

 Old and young both have a desire to acquire the biggest stick. However, this stick was too big even for these two to carry.
