So Diane, Joey, and I headed Friday to Giant City State Park in southern Illinois to celebrate Mothers Day Weekend. We drove down 55 to Cape then crossed the Mississippi and headed over to Giant City State Park. We arrived and found out NO pets allowed. Well, shame on me but I did not drive all the way down there only to not be let into our cabin because of Joey. They have a really big lodge there, for dinners and gift shop, with many smaller cabins for guests to stay in. So we sneak Joey into the cabin without anyone seeing. The only guests we saw were 3 harley biker dudes from Chicago and a father and son playing catch with baseball.
We decide to go on a mile and half hike to Devils StandTable. Played with a frisbee for awhile and they went back to cabin. Diane and I went back to Lodge for dinner and then back to cabin. About 5am a thunderstorm came through and knocked power out throughout the park. We decided at 11 am to not stay the second night and go see what we can come across. We drive north to Carbondale and have lunch. Inside, the waiter told us about Little Grand Canyon about 25 miles west. We go there to check it out. We hiked about 2 miles of the trail when we had to turn around because of high water made it impassable. We head home stopping for dinner in Fenton Mo. and then decided to go visit my mom to wish her a happy mothers day since we would not see her on Sunday. Joey loves his grandma and gets so excited when he sees her.
