SUNDAY turned out to be a partly sunny, 67 degree Spring day with calm winds. Chores, errands, and responsibilities were cast carelessly aside to venture out to the New Family's favorite forest preserve. The kitchen needed cleaning, and still does, but it will need it again. The temperate weather will soon enough give way to sticky heat.
Carpe diem, or to borrow from modern pop morality, YOLO!

| Trail head. Let's begin! |
 |
| Dad loves bridges. |
 |
| Pretty. Click to enlarge. |
 |
| Oak grove. It gets dark in there. |
When these oaks have leaves, the trail is much darker than the surrounding prairie.
Lions and tigers, and bears. Oh my! |
| Back to the lake. Look a bridge! Dad get the camera |
 |
| The scenery ain't half bad around here. Nice! |
 |
| Maybe Dad can get a phone number. |
 |
| Gotta move fast to catch the good ones. |
 |
| Reeds and water. |
 |
| Imagine the roaring fire you could have in there! |

| Mom, Buggy, and Buddy in the baby buggy. |
This is a property located within spitting distance of major interstates and surrounded on two sides by county highways, yet when one is deep within the property, the only sounds are the breeze rustling then leaves, and crickets singing near the water. It is a nice suburban retreat.
