I was ambitious and joined a group of ladies (most from our church) on a day of hiking at Perrot State Park. It was HARD work hiking up the West side, but the view was amazing.
 |
| Up, up, up... I think the we were going up to Eagle Bluff. |
 |
| Can you see Winona, Minnesota in the distance? |
 |
| Beautiful view of the Mississippi River & the Minnesota hills. |
Coming back down was much easier.
 |
| Horse Shoe Falls (amazing formation, but not much water flowing that day). |
Not long after, Al and I brought the boys back for a family picnic and hike. We just went up and back down the East side, because it was a much easier trek. The boys were thrilled to be out hiking with their walking sticks.
 |
| Ready to go with backpack & sticks in hand. |
 |
| Up we go... Asher leads the way. |
 |
| Ezra was a trooper and was determined to get to the top. |

 |
| Another beautiful day to enjoy the wonderful view. |
 |
| A little hot but happy to have reached his goal. |
