Firsts

It is never easy leaving a newborn for the first night. With this being our first anniversary, it didn't make leaving her any easier. Instead we brought her with.

We visited Gooseberry Falls on Saturday but signs advised traction devices due to the ice on the trails and the Visitors Center was closed.









Before leaving, we took the cleared walking path to the upper falls which are just as beautiful as the main lower falls.

Addy was sleeping so we took advantage of the moment and had dinner at Black Woods Restaurant. As always the food was delicious!

We decided that since Addy was coming with, we better get the one bedroom lakehome which offers a full kitchen, living room and a seperate bedroom with a jucuzzi.

Much easier to have her someplace quiet if she is sleeping. Plus a full kitchen in case she decides we shouldn't eat out.

On Sunday we ventured to Tettegouche State Park and figured we could give the 0.7 mile hike to the High Falls a try since Addy was sleeping and I could carry her in a sling. The trail was quite icy so we couldn't walk as fast as we thought. It took about a half hour to reach the falls. Unfortunately I didn't get much further than the picture below since Addy decided to wake up early from her nap. I think she was getting too warm being so close to me in the sling.

It was much faster walking out when you have a crying baby. Whoops!

At least Nick made it further down the path to get some nice pictures of the waterfall and river leading to Lake Superior.

We woke on Monday morning to see that it was snowing. There hasn't been a single year that we've gone to the North Shore and had not had a decent amount of snow accumulate.

We bought some shoes spikes and headed back to Gooseberry Falls.

The first thing we did was sit by the fireplace. I need to get better at asking strangers to take our picture. It would have been nice to get the three of us sitting by the fire.

Adelynn's first time being at the Lower Falls.
Of course, she is sleeping!
