Hmm...I was debating how to break this down...
And I just decided to put up scenery and then people.
Sounds alright to you guys?
Okay...so first, the scenery...

And now the people... ^^


This is my mom...acting all cool on our way to Starved Rock.

And then, we got there. This is before our HUGE brunch. I took the liberty of
being the photographer of the day. Yup,...I'm the camera-gal~ ^^;;

Okay, so obviously, I didn't take this picture. What is my hair doing???

My mom is such an easy target!! Hehehe. This is after our big brunch. :)
This is actually on top of the Starved Rock itself. I guess the Indians (Native Americans)
starved to death at this rock....hence the name.... Quite ironic, since how we stuffed ourselves
at the restaurant minutes before getting here. haha ^^

My mommy and daddy... They look really pudgy in this picture. All these pictures
are kind of squished top and bottom. But yeah,...they are kind of short to begin with. ^^;;

I think this is on our way down from Starved Rock. GREAT weather....

You see that big hill behind my parents? That's the famous Starved Rock. We hiked
all the way around to the other side. That body of water you see is the Illinois River.

And yes,...they wanted me in the picture as well. Notice how they put me on the
left of my brother? They put me there cuz I'm shorter...So that I won't cover up the
Starved Rock in the background...-_-;;

Hmmm...at this point, I have forgotten where we went. Well, this is along the trail.

This is "Eagle Cliff". You can overlook the whole park from here...
Again, BEAUTIFUL weather. You like my shades?? They are my new
transition glasses I got from Korea...they are fantastic!

From the same place. My brother enjoying the day...

Ah ha! My mom is again a victim of my random shots. hehehe.

As I had mentioned somewhere...The leaves were still GREEN! We were sorta
disappointed...But still, this place is nice~

I have no idea what this place is called. But it was quite interesting, non the less.
Cool caves...I wonder if people actually lived here.
And may I say...I take better pictures than my brother?? hehe.

Still hiking...

More stairs to climb...

My brother...a bit ahead of the game...waiting for us from above...

Ahhh....finally...no stairs! Absolutely flat! Again, wouldn't it be great if the leaves
were actually yellow, orange, and red??? Hello??? It's fall??

And now we are going DOWN...woohoo!

I ran to the front to get in the action... Hey, I should be in some of the pictures, huh?

YES~ A solo pictures...allllll to myself. ^^ And the end to our hike. :)
