Family of forest-dwellers

We didn't get enough of the woods on our first visit so, we headed back down to Morgan-Monroe to hike, take more pictures and of course, further investigate this "haunted" cemetery in the forest.  We got some great pics and I'd like to share them with you! :)

The trail that leads to the cemetery

The stump that the ghost is often seen sitting on, in life she mourned for her baby here

Baby Lester's headstone.  It has been vandalized and I don't know the significance of the coins.

Jarrah decided that daddy should carry her :)

More than a little creepy!

It has come to my attention that "Stepp Cemetery" as I mentioned in one of my earlier posts is among one of Indiana most haunted sites! see it here .  Eeeek!  I am such a weenie, I would have never stepped foot in there alone had I known it was haunted.  Check out the history here.
I believe I'll take the trail in another direction next time........  :)

Adventures in the Woods

So I was feeling a little froggy today and I decided to hop on down to Morgan-Monroe State Park in beautiful Southern Indiana for a little adventure. My lovely little ladies (ages almost 2 & 4) are more than a little materialistic and needed a good dose of nature to put things in perspective. Jazilyn, my oldest was thrilled to find a mushroom (she's really into Super Mario) and we also stumbled upon an old early 19th century cemetery! I found it kind of creepy and it reminded a lot of Stephen King's Pet Semetary because of its remote location. ((shudders)) Anywho, we all made it back alive and I can't wait to do it again! I'm so happy the girls enjoyed it because now I feel confident taking them more often. I think next we'll do Turkey Run State Park. Here are the very few pics I got today due to my camera having no battery (doh)!
