A visit to Duluth with friends

Carolyn and I had a great time in Duluth with Dan and LeAnn this weekend while the kids were with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a nice time hanging out. We went to see some great sites including Goosebury Falls and Split Rock. Also, there were casual dinners, playing cards and bar trivia.

A quiet cabin weekend

We went up this weekend with just my Mom and family. It was a very relaxing weekend and as usual, the kids had a nice time. There was a really wild front that rolled through on Saturday morning.

I woke up to shut the windows and saw this front rolling in. It reminds me of looking up at a wave breaking in the ocean from underneath.

Family fun at the cabin for an entire week

We spent the entire last week at the cabin. We had everyone up from our family with exception of Katie. As usual the kids had a blast together and the adults had their own fun. We played in the water, boated, visited “Florida Point”, spent a lot of time at the Tiki Bar and Sand Bar, watched fireworks, attended a parade, played mini golf, went through a huge maze, and hung out with friends.

The weather could not have been better, there were only a couple of small instances of rain that occurred mostly during sleeping hours and the water was very refreshing.

**Disclaimer – I have a little tradition with the kids, they like when I shave my beard, I only do this when we have a long vacation. Don’t be scared 🙂

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great weekend at the cabin this weekend. We partied with neighbors, saved a old turtle from getting run over, played in a human hamster ball, played Dave’s new shuffleboard, and played bingo at the legion.
