Boundary Waters MN Day 1: We hit the Neil Smith Wi Boundary Waters MN
Day 1: We hit the Neil Smith Wildlife Refuge on our way to Minneapolis to catch up with some old friends. 
Day 2: We pressed on North through Duluth #ivebeentoduluth and arrived at Tettegouche State Park where we did a lot of hiking, rode out a big storm in the visitor center, and camped there at Baptism River for the night. 
Day 3: Picked up our BWCA entry permits and rented our #wenonahcanoe from @Sawtoothoutfitters in Tofte, MN before heading out for Hog Creek. As we were unloading the car and packing for three days / two nights in the boundary waters we saw several other parents and kids getting ready for their adventures as well. Hog Creek is one of the most kid friendly trips. We paddled about 2 hours down the grassy gentle flowing creek before arriving at Perent Lake and grabbing our site around 1pm. We had lunch, set up camp, and we took a nap. Later that day we set out exploring the lake and swimming. Campfire and a tasty dinner closed out the day. 
Day 4: I woke early and snapped some pictures of the fog rolling over the lake. Cole and I had breakfast, hiked, and played games in camp most of the day. Around 4pm we set out to explore the coves and grassy bogs to the east side of the lake. Campfire and dinner to wind down. Loons called as we fell asleep. 
Day 5: We had breakfast and packed up camp. We were in the water heading back up Hog Creek by 9:15. Paddling upstream was easy in the ultra lite Spirit 2. We had to line through a beaver damn going upstream that I was able to run on our pervious down river float. Two hours total and we were back at our entry point and packing up. We dropped off our canoe and grabbed a tasty lunch in Tofte at the Coho House. From there we headed back to Minneapolis for another stay with our friends. They were such great hosts we wanted to go back, but also needed to complete a rescue mission for Woody, who in classic Woody fashion was left behind. 
Day 6: we headed back home. Stopping again at the Neil Smith Wildlife Refuge to break up the drive.
