Two Hobbits

I was able to get Michael and Finnegan out in the woods up on Miller Hill the other day.  They bounced around as hobbits and Indian Boys for a couple hours.  We got out on the ice at Tucker lake and discovered a very active Beaver lodge.  A bald eagle was working over Pyramid Point.   So incredible to see these boys do their thing out in the woods.  They notice things that I would never in a million years.  Gets me thinking about the time we walked to the Manitou Islands from Glen Arbor with my Dad and the younger Gillen Boys.  There was probably a football game or something on TV that we missed that day, but the memories instilled in that trip will be with me forever.  And that is the story of getting out into the woods.  It is so powerful and so essential in our spirit.  Turn off the TV and the computers and the gameboys, put on some proper clothing, get outdoors and make some memories.
