I've always wanted to go to the lake in winter. I like the idea of getting all bundled up to go on a hike or snowshoeing adventure. I like the idea of an outdoor fire when it's 10 degrees. And I like how calm and quiet the lake could be in winter.  
 
On Saturday I had the day off so we took a day-trip to Cass Lake. It was a gorgeous day, almost too warm, for enjoying the woods + lake. During our snowshoeing adventure I had to take my coat off because I was sweating like crazy! After snowshoeing, we grabbed lawn chairs and stuck them in the snow right out on the lake and sat there, enjoying the warmth of the sun.  
 
Here are a few photos from the day.

GPS telling us that we are, in fact, on the lake (see the small blue dot? That's us).
