Devil's Lake State Park.


Today we ventured north to Devil's Lake State Park to do a little wandering, playing on the beach, and checking out the fall colors. This park is so beautiful - massive cliffs and bluffs, large serene lake, steep hills and rolling valleys.


Our plan was originally to visit a "Fall Festival", but letting the boys dig, play, roam, wander, explore, and just BE outside on a chilly beautiful fall day seemed a better idea. They loved the lake and beach. They threw rocks, played with "seaweed", collected pine cones/shells/acorns/leaves, found big sticks to poke into the sand, ran down the beach, got too wet, and found all kinds of fun things.


We spent a few hours wandering down the beach and back and took lots of photos. I posted a bunch of our photos from today on ||Flickr||. Check them out! :)

Did you go to South Shore? (Guessing from your photos.)

We go to Devil's Lake, or one of the parks in their system like Parfrey's Glen, almost every week! :)

Yes, and actually, your Parfrey's Glen pix are what made me want to go. ;) The trail for the PG looked like it might be tough for a two year old, so we decided to just do the beach today, and then if they still had energy or got bored to move to a pretty easy/flat trail for a walk - but they LOVED the beach so we never made it farther!

So it was South Shore--not sure of where the other was, I didn't have a map or info since I decided en route that I wasn't going to the other event! We definitely want to go back!!!!

You are the best mom ever, and I know you hear that from at least two other people from time to time.
