Duluth Camping 2012

We took our annual camping trip to Duluth a couple weekends ago.  We upgraded our vehicle to a bigger SUV and found a larger camper.  It's older, but has a lot of room & storage and it's so nice to be able to pull into the campground and the beds are ready to go to sleep! The kids have enjoyed camping, they love the new camper because they have Bunkbeds!

Headed to Gooseberry... It was a hot & busy day!



Sally was able to finally come with camping and on our adventures, she really enjoyed all the hiking and swimming in the falls.  She was so hot she layed right down in the water.


On the beach at the end of the falls, someone had made this cool Tee-pee out of Driftwood. It was amazing to see how the floodwaters from the big rain a month ago had changed quite a bit of the shoreline and beaches there.



Getting the fire started

4th Of July Weekend

For the 4th, we had our annual cabin weekend celebration.  With the 4th landing mid-week it made things interesting.  I headed up north a couple days prior with the kids, then we headed home to spend the day with Eric on the 4th and enjoyed fireworks near our home.  The following weekend we headed back up for some more fun!  Eric and Phill took Blake on a canoe ride one morning.

We set up my camera on our Tri-Pod and did some group photos, and were able to finally get a nice family shot of us. Man these kids are growing up!!
