Starved Rock

This past weekend we went down to Dekalb (my home town) for some family time. We started our weekend with a stop to Corn Fest. A family tradition for many years, although I had not been back for quite a few years, we thought we would check it out. It was a fairly warm afternoon but Jillian was a trooper. Who can pass up free corn on the cob (yes, at Corn Fest you get free corn!). Then grandma and grandpa (my parents) watched Jillian so Jason and I could go out on a double date with "The Greats" (my grandparents). It was nice to get out with just them and be on our own schedule.

It was a little steamy at corn fest...Jillian was a little red in the face!

Sunday we drove down to Starved Rock in Ottawa, IL. The last time I had been to Starved Rock was the Father's Day before Jason and I were married (roughly 4 years ago). So it was kinda fun to bring Jillian here, although I doubt she'll remember much of it. It ended up being a warmer day than expected, but we still ventured onto the hiking trails. It was a nice day with family. Jillian always loves spending time with her family (she tells us this after every visit!).
