July 15, 2016–Day 11–Porcupine Mountains Union Bay to The Chippewa Flowage, WI
What an incredibly beautiful day after yesterday’s gloominess. I woke up at 7 to go for a run along the shore of Lake Superior. A sign at the boat launch said that Lake Superior accounts for 10% of the world’s total surface fresh water. Listening and watching the waves lap upon the shore almost lulled me back to sleep. Thankfully the camp hostess had out coffee and hot chocolate. Scott and I sipped our warm beverages while we watched the waves. The kids came and joined us and the rock throwing soon commenced.

July 11, 2016–Day 7–Boulder Lake in Nicolet Forest, WI to Copper Harbor, MI
The forecast had promised sunny, humid, and eighties. When the rain started coming down hard at 3am and didn’t stop, I knew our plans to whitewater raft on the Wolf were going to have to be delayed. We woke to mid-sixties and fog. Between the wind blowing the rain off the leaves and a few sprinkles we decided a quick breakfast of cereal would be beneficial. Scott and I went for a quick brainstorming walk while the kids played on their tablets in the car.

Scott and the kids slept well last night. I had the opportunity to listen to the rain for a few hours while I tried to get to sleep. It was good to see the light return to Scott’s eyes.

July 8, 2015–Day 3 Indiana Dunes to Kalamazoo, MI
Warm tiny limbs wrapping around my neck and back were my wake up call this morning. There isn’t a better way to wake up. After a little snuggle Cody swung into full energy mode singing a song he created, “Mama Long Legs.” After some snuggle I slipped out of the tent to splash some water on my face to try to feel a little human. Some people need coffee to get their morning started. I really just need some water to splash on my face. Brushing my teeth and hair and a little exercise are a fantastic bonus too.
