Just me and my model/best girl, Lil...
And a few critters we met along the way.
Doesn't that sound like the perfect day? Miss Bit even declared it such.
It was warm enough for a light jacket and not too muddy. We braved the grassland loop pretty certain that most wouldn't. We bet right, and had it all to our very own selves. The path was covered in deer tracks, but we didn't come across a single one as we wove our way through. We pretended the helicopter hovering over the highway nearby was trying to find us, and we DID NOT want to be found. We ran from tree to tree and ducked for cover embellishing our story along the way. We planned to cook fish stew for dinner after dark and sleep in a stick tepee. In the morning we were going to borrow a kayak and set off across Lake Michigan where our trail would never be traced. Of course, we would use our cell phone to call Aunt C. and Uncle P. once we arrived on the other shore.
The climb up the 96 stairs of the lookout tower just about did us in. As we chilled in the rockers on the porch of the lodge, Miss Bit said, "I wouldn't want to be here with any other Mom." And that sweet revelation earned her a trip for ice cream on the way home, and not 1, but 2 scoops!
(She didn't know I took the first photo and then wanted to ham it up for another picture saying, "Mom, put this one on your blog!)
