the big lake again

Last week found us again on the shores of one of our most favorite places. Lake Superior.
It's such a magical place. Since our trip last summer Iris has talked and talked of this big lake, so it was pretty special to take the girls back again. It was just as enchanting this time.






Biking, tenting, campfire cooking, hiking, rock collecting, minnow and tadpole catching, a night with dear friends and a whole lotta fresh air, big water and sunshine. 6 nights and 7 days of sleeping, eating and playing outdoors. It hardly seemed like enough. But, we came home once again with pockets full of sand and rocks (agates this time!) and hearts full of the beautiful north shore and each other. Back in this lush valley we call home, the tomatoes are popping and the corn is ripe. Good work comes after good rest and good fun.

Happy last of August everyone.
