We're back after an amazing week. Loads of laundry done, sleeping bags on the line, tent airing. Chickens hugged, raspberries picked, tomatoes holding off (thank-you!). It's good to be home, but that was pretty sweet! We spent the first two nights at the recommendation of a friend, here. Quiet, rustic campground on a most gorgeous little lake. We paddled within 10 feet of a Loon!
Next on to the Sylvania Wilderness Area for a bit more adventure. We really wanted to trek a bit deeper into the wilderness with the girls but weren't sure we were up for the portages of a Boundary Water's trip (afterall Iris' children (all thee off them!) still go everywhere with us!). So, Sylvania was perfect. A 2 1/2 hour paddle to our campsite with just a very short portage. We stayed on Mountain Lake which was about as clear and pristine as you can imagine. Off we go...two adults, two children, 4 dolls (Mae had to have her rang-a-tang), one dog and a mound of gear.
The portage.
The hemlock forest campsite.
The mossy fairy garden. Seriously, you wouldn't believe it!
The yellow birch fairy tree, on the two mile hike (with the doll, which she carried herself)!
The sticky marshmallow-fairy-dust faces.
The very proud whittlin' girl.
Beautiful weather, full moon nights, loads of time to play, think and explore. It was good, so very good.

Your photos are simply stunning. I am sure the trip was an adventure the girls, as well you you and Andy, will always remember. Still, I am glad you are all back safe and sound.
