mirror lake state park

We drove up to Mirror Lake State park this last weekend.

Had a great time exploring this gorgeous area just north of Madison.

We arrived on Friday night and set up camp.

I was pretty excited to break in our mostly new camping gear that we received as wedding gifts. 

I have a dream to go back for a partial week at the Winfield bluegrass festival in KS someday and really put it to good use.

Because we're both used to getting up early, we awoke at 6:20 am on Saturday morning, had breakfast, and went on a nice, long hike. 

We basically had the trail to ourself because nobody really gets up that early on a Saturday, except us.

We spent the remainder of that time reading psychopathology (just me), taking naps, drinking some beers, eating some food, and preparing for some rain to head our way.

Little did we know that a VERY large storm was headed our way.

Ben made the extremely good point that we may end up sitting in our tent, trying to stay dry for the remainder of the night. 

Then our stuff would still be wet and muddy in the morning. 

Since there was no really good reason to go through all of that....we packed up as it was starting to sprinkle, stopped at Culver's for ice cream, and headed back to Milwaukee. 

Sad we couldn't stretch it out until Sunday, but grateful we didn't get wet. 

It was actually kind of nice because we had extra time to lounge at home and prepare for the week ahead.

I was at the hospital 9:30 am - 6:00 pm today, so I'm pretty wiped out, but I had two really good 1/1 sessions, and a occupational therapy rehab group. 

Successful day.

I'm also currently at 377 internship hours!

By the end of next week I will have reached the halfway mark of 400!

This summer semester is already flying by...and we just got started. 

We'll be back at colloquium (our big art therapy camping trip) as knowledgable second-year students in 3 short months. 

Grad school scheduling blows my mind sometimes...especially when I finished two bachelors degrees in 5 years. 

This is lightening speed. 

And we're going to Nashville to see Jen and Frank get married...NEXT WEEK!
