Lake of the Woods...

Just a few short weeks ago D and I went on a fishing trip with some friends up to LOTW. It was sort of a bucket list trip for us - we'd always wanted to go on a 'guided trip' on the ice... mainly so we'd catch some fish since we're never very lucky in that aspect. :) Weeks later I'm still thinking about how much fun that trip was... the chance to get away with my hubby for a weekend. A weekend that wasn't work related - just fun. It was a good reminder that every once in a while - it's okay to get away. It's okay to leave the kids for a few days to go re-energize yourself. As parents, as a spouse - for yourself. I'm hopeful that we can remember this as we face another year - sometimes it's okay to step away from it all (with or without the kids) and simply just enjoy.

 So we didn't catch massive amounts but we made up for that with lots of laughs. :)
