Potato River Falls

We did a self-defense class for a group of ladies in Ironwood, MI (about 45 minutes away, just in to the Upper Peninsula.) Since Todd had to go on a Saturday morning, we decided that we would make a family trip out of it. We brought in Xander's car DVD player and he did pretty well, I mostly had Flint in the front pack.
After the class we had lunch in Ironwood and then headed for Potato River Falls, which is nearby.  It has probably been a couple of year since we have been there, and it was a good time.

Right on, Good Adventure!
So after we got home, while eating diner tonight, Xander said his favorite part of the whole day was getting ice cream cones at the ice cream shop when we got back to town :). He did concede that walking in the river with dad was pretty cool.

  1. How cool! You are a trooper for carrying Flint in the pack up all of those stairs. :)
