Birthday Hiking

It was my birthday on Sunday, and thanks in part to all of your well wishes and Happy Birthday's I had a great day! One of the things I am aiming to do this summer is to spend more time in the outdoors. To soak up a few more rays of sun and spend a little more time in front of a campfire under the open skies. So, when it came to what I wanted to do for my birthday, I knew I wanted to head up to Devil's Lake for a little hiking. I was blessed with a beautiful spring day, so we packed up the car and made the short drive.

We brought Edie, our 8.9 pounds of terror (aka terrier) with us. We weren't quite sure how she would handle climbing up the rock face to get to the top of the bluffs, but she handled it like a champ! If she had it her way, she would have dragged and pulled us all of the way up the bluff!

We had such a fun time, I thought I'd share a few photos.

The view from the top of the bluff:

Our little poochie mountain climber!

And then if the day couldn't get any better, we topped it off with a trip to Buffalo Wild Wings (to feed my chicken wing addiction), and bought a little Dairy Queen cake - oh it was so good!

Thanks everyone for making it a great day!
