North Shore 2012


I think the biggest highlight for me this summer was our camping trip up to the North Shore.  It was Max’s first camping trip, so we were a bit cautious in our planning knowing that things may not go as smoothly as we plan, but we were pleasantly surprised to find out Max loves camping as much as we do!  We spent one night in Schroeder, MN at a place called Lamb’s Resort, and it was amazing!  Our site was steps away from the lake and we could hear the waves crashing all through the night.  The kids loved it as well; they were able to climb on the rocks, look for agates, and put their feet in the water.  We spent our days hiking in various locations along the North Shore, and even took a day trip to Lutsen to ride the Tram and have lunch.  It was an amazing trip and we have already marked our site number at Lamb’s and plan on spending three nights there this next summer!

Max liked exploring in the backpack and by foot.  He loved splashing his feet in the water!

 Addie loved climbing on the rocks and putting her feet in the water.  These two things were, by far, her favorite part of the trip!

Where did summer go???

Our summer was busier than ever!  As you can tell from the lack of posts, the time just got away from us.  Here are some of the highlights of our July and August and some more of the items we checked off our summer to-do list!

 Addie's first game at Target Field.  She and her friend, Isaac, even got to run the bases after the game!




 VillageFest!  The kids had a great time at all the festivities, including the parade and Addie's first race!


  The kids celebrating Papa Wes's 100th Birthday!


We checked off almost everything on our summer to-do list!  Including swimming lessons, waterpark, Como Town, State Fair, Teddy Bear Park, and Block Party!
