I cant believe that it has been so long since either Nathan and I posted! We have had some amazing last couple of weeks, and its a shame that I can't upload the billion photos that we have taken... well I suppose I could, but instead I will just post the highlights from the last several weeks, be prepared for a long picture filled read!
 |
| As you can see someone got a little tired and needed to be carried the last half a mile!! |
We will start waaaaay back.......Nathan, Nate, Hershey, Giuseppe, and I took a 2.5 mile hike at Allerton park several weeks ago. Nate loved it, which led us to taking a long weekend trip to Shawnee National Forest *pictures of that trip at the end of the post*
We had a fantastic Fathers Day. Nate and I worked hard on making a "nuts and bolts" picture frame for Nathan, and of course no present is complete without Nates personal drawings!
We went on a fun adventurous train ride for Fathers Day!
 |
| Nate had a blast cooling off with his head out the window! |
 |
Cheese!!
|
 |
| We took a fun vacation up to Chicago to visit the zoo, and some family. Nate went on his first boat ride off of Michigan lake and promptly fell asleep. |
 |
| We met up with Nates cousins and took in the circus! Nate and I even rode an elephant, unfortunately we don't have any pictures of that .. |
 |
| Torey and I at the Take Steps for Crohns and Colitis walk, our second year annual picture. |
 |
| Nate and Amala whipping Nathan and me at bowling! |
 |
| Fun picnic and band at the park |
 |
| Nathan may kill me for posting this, but he just looked so darn cute sipping his coffee and playing his guitar. *Don't mind the brush in the background, thank goodness it is finally cleaned up* |
 |
| Our first night we stayed in a hotel at the halfway point and swam the night away! We took a small detour the next morning and visited Metropolis the home of Superman! |
 |
| Nate found a fun little cubbyhole/secret hideout in the loft at the cabin |
 |
| We were excited about the hot tub on the deck, even though the temperature was like lukewarm bath water, but with the heavy humidity it was actually quite refreshing. |
 |
| One of the best things about our cabin was the additional outdoor pavilion with a huge open brick fireplace. It made for perfect nights of hot dog roasting, S'more making, and fun UNO games as the sun went down |
 |
| We had a BLAST playing horseshoes out front of the cabin. What a beautiful view! |
 |
| The boys atop a boulder at Garden of the Gods |
 |
| Our swampy canoe ride! |
 |
| King of the Hill?! |
 |
| This hike scared the beejezus out of me, but the boys both had zero problems being up so high. |
 |
| Nate didn't want to leave and was a natural at rock climbing! |
My summer classes are almost over, so I promise, promise, promise I wont let it be another month before I post again!
XOXO
