We finally made it up to Duluth to see Lake Superior and some of the sights. The weather was beautiful and the lake felt like the ocean. Here are some of the photos.
The lift bridge-amazing to watch it lift for the various sized ships passing through
The tour boat ride. Notice the sweettarts the kids have--nearly started a riot fighting over them later in the ride, but they sure enjoyed them :)
Grant braving the frigid water
Ty was eventually in up to his thighs--he's a fish
Garrett, too
Shayla playing on the boat in park point
Gooseberry Falls State Park was AMAZING!
Hiking at Gooseberry
The upper falls
Grant throwing rocks into the lake
Tyler teaching Miya how to throw rocks (as opposed to EAT rocks like she wanted to)
Tyler and I wondering why we thought sleeping with 5 kids in 1 hotel room was a good idea...
Lake Superior Factoids for you: It is so deep you could put the empire state building in the lake it would all be below the surface.
The area of the lake is roughly the size of Indiana.
If you flooded North and South America with the water in Lake Superior it would cover the entire land mass with 1 foot of water.
Miya spent a lot of time in her stroller
Enjoying the view
On the boat tour
FEET! Notice Miya's painted toes :)
Although we had our moments, the kids were troopers and it was a great family-togetherness weekend.
Tyler used his creative-balancing skills to get this photo of all of us together.Hopefully more posts to come!

Sounds like such a fun trip. Love the family picture on the log!
What a sweet family- you are both amazing parents.
What great pictures! Sounds like you had so much fun. I agree with Angela, I love that picture of all of you. I really liked the one of all your cute feet too!
I love it! It looked like such a fun weekend. That last picture of the whole family turned out so well. I didn't know all of those facts about Lake Superior. They were really interesting. The falls look beautiful! I also loved the quips about the Sweet-Tarts. We can completely relate, perks of multiple children I think.
