Hiking with family along the Little Sioux River.
Mary Carlin Dougherty, the Cookery Maven, wrote a beautiful post about a hike along the Little Sioux River with her family:
Last Sunday morning, Charlie came in my bedroom and said, ‘it’s photo safari day, where are we going?’. My heart was happy, it’s no small feat to share a passion for the natural world and photography with your kids. Will found an old camera of Jack’s in his bedroom that we gave to Charlie and now we are a gang of four for our Sunday safaris. We went to the Little Sioux River (when we were still a gang of three and one George) and hiked down the stream bed, it was another beautiful afternoon in what is turning into a lifetime of beautiful afternoons.
Read the whole post, and enjoy all the lovely pictures, at her blog, The Cookery Maven.
Mary first came to Bayfield, Wisconsin, a dozen years ago via the Isle of Skye, the family sailboat, and found "home." Four years ago she and Ted packed up their five children and four dogs and moved to the Bayfield Peninsula. Today she co-owns Good Thyme Restaurant & Catering in Washburn. Mary loves to write about her peninsula life with good food, great family and friends and, of course, the Big Lake. We're pleased to feature Mary's blog as part of our regular blogger favorites.
