More camping

We explored this cool castle-dragon-fantasy themed playground just outside of Carbondale. The kids loved it!

Camping

 Last weekend we camped with friends at Giant City State Park in Illinois. On Saturday we drove to the Cache River Wetlands, home of the only swamp in Illinois. The oldest trees east of the Mississippi are in this swamp, 1000 year old cypress trees.
