One of the benefits of living out in the sticks is that all that fun 'outdoorsie' stuff, is right out your back door. We live about 10 min. away from a really nice state park right on the St. Croix River. The girls and I headed there for the morning to do a little hiking and picnicing. We had lunch on a bluff overlooking the river and the girls enjoyed watching all the boats go by - while I watched my one year old pound down almost half of a footlong subway sandwhich (it was truly amazing...and Im kicking myself for not getting it on video). Then we went on a little hike to (ahem.) burn off a few calories. The whole time Emma was pestering me to let them stick their feet in the water, so after our hike we found a spot, and the girls had fun playing in the water and Eden enjoyed a dessert of river mud.
