Eme and I headed up to the great north woods of Minnesota's Gunflint Trail along the North Shore of Lake Superior (a.k.a. Jeff's Happy Place) for some outside play time with my family. Even though it was cloudy most of the time it was still fun to be outside in God's creation to enjoy the snow covered wilderness. We hiked up Britton's Peak (pretty small), ate at Sven & Ole's Pizza (A-mazing!), stayed at Adventerous Christians in the Patten Cabin, and x-country skied around the AC. Tip: Check a map before heading out on a remote, wooded x-country ski trail an hour before dusk. Eme, Micah, and I made it around the AC loop...up and down hills, around corners, over rivers, dodging branches, and squinting to see a dimly lit map (because it was dark). We made the entire 4.5 mile trek!
Remember when sledding down even a small hill put a smile on your face like Kaitlyn? Snow is so much fun!

I was keeping Elissa "close at all times" just like the sign says.
You may remember these views from Jeff's August 2nd blog entry. It's just a bit more...white now!
Yes, we got colds on our way up north. A little medicine and crisp fresh air did us good though!
And no, we didn't see any moose this time :( But we did capture a photo of a northland creature in this self-portrait of us. You can see him just over Eme's right shoulder.
