Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to enjoy the hike the little man and I took recently!

Partially Frozen Wednesday Hike

It's been a little funny for me, for once the little man is in a bit of a lazy mood! I've asked him to go for walks a few different times but he says no he doesn't want to go. I am not used to that! Lol

The little man has been getting more into playing with his Lego's lately which I can't blame him too much. The weather hasn't been very nice to do a whole lot outside for long periods of time which is a bummer because we were having a lot of fun in the summer. With living in an area that changes seasons though, you eventually have to deal with the cold! Lol. He started being a pain when I told him that I want to go out for a walk or a hike but on this day I dragged his little butt outside! He fought it at first and wasn't too happy to be outside instead of playing with his precious Lego.

A few minutes in however.. and he was back to his normal, energetic and skipping personality. He's darting around this corner here excited to see what awaits us on the other side. In this case, it was nothing really good except somebody's back yard lol so we didn't really get to go anywhere special on this bend but it was good to see him warming up to the idea that we were outside and lucky to be outside and enjoying the scenery that we are. Not everyone gets to enjoy these areas! So I have been making it more of a point now to get his little toosh outside.

He was picking up sticks and singing his songs that he normally does so he's certainly in a little bit of a funk from the colder weather and decreased amount of sunlight. Thankfully we have the solstice coming up today so the days will finally start getting longer again! Looking forward to more sunshine for sure!

The place we went hiking is one that we've been fishing before a few times and had 50/50 luck. One time we got some amazing fish, the other time all we caught were snapping turtles trying to eat our stuff lol. This place ended up being a lot bigger than I thought it was! That was a lot of fun!

What I also enjoyed about the hike is that we got to explore around a pretty large part of the place without the annoyance of bugs. In the summertime this place is pretty awesome but it's also infested with insane amounts of bugs so walking too deep into the area isn't very enjoyable because you're fighting off mosquitoes and all kinds of other annoying things flying at your face and trying to get a bite out of ya. The place was a lot more complicated than I thought! I know we will be back here for sure in the spring and summertime to check out some more of the fishing!

You may or may not remember this really cool waterfall here. This is what first drew me to the spot! I was looking for a different place to fish with the little man and I saw this one on the map and figured that it might be a decent spot to go since it's funneling the water down to an area like this. That usually means that the fishing near the falls here can be hit or miss. It could potentially be great with the bigger fish looking to snag anything smaller that gets caught in the current. It also does attract the damn bigger animals like snapping turtles though, which we experienced first hand last year or the year before, I forget which lol.

We ventured out onto the different parts of the pond though! The above pictures that I took were straight ahead but a little to the left of the middle. We were at that vantage point looking at this spot here where the log is but we had to walk around the left side the longer way because of the private property that wouldn't allow us to cross. Not a huge deal for me, as I wanted to respect them and their land.

That meant though, that the little man and I got to explore a lot more of the lake than we ever did before! I'm glad that we did, and I've got a bunch more pictures to come of the other part of the lake that we got to see. The other part of the lake here is what I'm excited about for the fishing aspect! We will get some great fishing for sure but it's a fair bit more pictures and I wanted to keep this post here on the moderate length instead of too long lol.
