Saturday Hike

There are some weeks/weekends in the Northwoods where I miss the things a "city" can offer- mostly shopping and restaurants! But then there are days like today where you can truly embrace all the Northwoods has.

I started the weekend out with a bang- or rather a fall- down the steps on Friday. My bruised tailbone was not up for too much adventure, but with school around the corner, I wasn't going to let that keep me down. We decided to stick close to home with a hike on the Perch Lake Trails in the Washburn Trail System (about 10 minutes outside of town). We had both Jack and Fletcher in tow. We had let Fletcher off his leash all last weekend to explore. He needed to be leashed on this trail and was thoroughly upset as he could not "track" all the animals. Fletcher's barking only entertained Jack more! However, now I believe both my tailbone and my arm that Fletcher nearly pulled off my body need a little ice.

Fingers crossed that we will be able to continue some weekend adventures this fall. I was at school 2 days this week, 3 days for in service next week, and the 4 days when the kids return. It's always hard when "good things must come to an end".
