Fall Escape - Sunday

"Is this a park with a playground?"
"The best kind, honey."

We spent Sunday morning at Eau Claire Dells Park. This is such a beautiful place and appears to be as underused as many county parks often are. We saw only a handful of other hikers. We were here 10 years ago on our way to our Door County honeymoon (yes, we waited a year to honeymoon). It brought back some fun memories and it was special to hike the loop with Hope. You should see her go! No tree roots, slippery rocks, or branches across the path will slow her down. Roots make great balance beams. Rocks, acorns, leaves, moss, fungus, etc., are all just curious distractions. And those branches, you ask? Well, she's a climber.





When did those legs get so long?

I said she was a climber. :)

Hope's Dance Moves - We were waiting for dinner in the bar. Such a WI thing to do. :)


Hope picks up her first 10 pin!!! She's available for lessons.


Hope's First Spare - We were a little more excited than she was. You should see her face when she watches the video now though. All smiles!

Fall Escape - Saturday

Ron surprised us with a long weekend away. We've had a great time and will head home later today. I thought I'd take a quick moment to post some photos while we're in the "wireless" lobby for breakfast this morning.

First geocache of the afternoon. Can you spot the tiny hiding place?


There was another cache here though it isn't in this photo. I just thought this was pretty cute.


There were a couple more down this path, but it was raining so we just quickly grabbed one of them.

Hope tried bowling for the first time!!! What a great family activity!!! (Hope bowled a 77)




Day two pics and a video update to come. For now though, we're headed out for day three excitement.
