After running an errand in town, Jodie and I decided it was too pretty of a day to go back home. Instead, she and Abby and I headed southwest of Springfield to do a little leaf peeping. It's not quite the peak of autumn color yet, but it's close.
I picked the general direction of our ride, then Jodie knew of a park I've never been to before to use as our destination. Along the drive, Abby sang to herself in the back seat. She's 21 months old now, and can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star all by herself -- and holds a tune well!
Since the trip was spur-of-the-moment, we weren't wearing the correct clothes and shoes for an impromptu hike. So we stayed in the car and made the park's rounds on the paved road.
This park has a large, excellent disc golf course and plenty of picnic shelters for group gatherings.
We couldn't have asked for a prettier day, and would have stayed out longer, but Abby started rubbing her eyes and saying, "Tiiirrred." So we got her back home where she quickly snuggled up into her crib for a nap.
