I had never heard of a lake being up here so we got out of the car, crawled under the 'road closed' sign, and decided to take a leap of faith and hoped it works out. I have been up that way many times but never new that there was an actual lake up there! We saw it today for the first time, frozen. I am not sure how I missed this lake up here? I am glad that we randomly decided to come up to MML and it turned out to be this beautiful. We took it slow as Conor was discovering everything and Thomas kept getting stuck in snow drifts. It was hilarious until they started to get cold, wet, and noses were running. Thankfully it was only about 1/2 a mile or so until the lake and it turned out the be frozen! We quickly found a piece of beach covered in pine needles and warmed ourselves in the sun! It was heavenly. We talked, shot nerf arrows, ate lunch, and soaked up some vitamin D. It was lovely. It was also very cold and we were not dressed in the best clothing. Oh well, we survived. The boys even want to go on another trip/hike tomorrow! Thomas and I laughed today, a lot. Big belly, throat open, head thrown back laughter. It was wonderful. It was Conor's first hike in which he walked the entire time. This was not easy for him and there was some age appropriate whining toward the end when he was tired. Thomas was brave enough to walk across the frozen lake and I was quite impressed.
We got cold, we got wet, we had runny noses, and we loved every moment. I love being with my boys. I am a blessed woman. I hope tomorrow will produce the same symptoms of fresh air and exercise!
La pace sia con voi.
***Oh by the way....Thomas fell through the frozen lake and had to hike the whole way back soaking wet. And he still managed to smile, have a good time, AND ask to go again. My boy is coming around :)
