Heritage Canyon & the Windmill, Fulton, IL

Our last day trip before school started!  We took advantage of a beautiful afternoon and drove up river to Fulton, IL (about 30 minutes north).  Matt had walked through the Heritage Canyon, but we had never gone there as a family.  It is a neat setting in a beautiful canyon!  We enjoyed stepping back in time and imagining what life was like 100+ years ago.

Alex preferred to walk the swinging bridge after everyone else was off!

We loved counting the frogs in the pond!  Lots of them!

Time for a barn dance??

After leaving the Heritage Canyon, we drove downtown to the Fulton Windmill.  We've seen the windmill many times, but had never walked through it...that particular afternoon, the windmill was open!!
