BWCA

The BWCA = Boundary Waters Canoe Area. aka the greatest place on earth! We meaning all four of us got to have a weekend in the great outdoors. Getting back to our roots is really what it was. It was so good to be able to stand by this lake again and remember all the good times we've had. I love how God orchestrates the things around us. Instead of an alarm clock in the mornings I had the loons waking me up. Before the north winds would blow on the lake the loons would make their call. Oh what a great alarm clock!  

My little brother and I, we hadn't seen each other in almost two years.... 

This was pretty much the best things since sliced bread. I tell you what. Some things never change between siblings which in some strange way is a good thing. 

A good catch up indeed

We paddled out to the palisades for a day which are on our lake so it wasn't that far. On our way out loons kept popping up. If you don't know what a loon is then you need to google it... It was awesome, we would just drift along and they would get closer and closer to the boat. Such amazing birds. 


Of course thanks to tradition we had to eat breakfast at Trail Center.... They know me from when I was shorter....

It's sweet going back to places you grew up with. I so enjoyed this trip, it was refreshing and amazing all at the same time. Makes me miss New Zealand with all my heart. Thankfully I'll be back there soon. 


I leave you with this, a peaceful sunset from our door...
