Duluth

It's been awhile, but we got up to Duluth for a couple days.

Mostly to spend time with the grandmas and see the Tall Ships.

Tall Ship.

Which were pretty awesome.

Oh yeah and Roman has his glasses now.

He can SEE.

Grandma Candy

Grandma Jane

We are family

And we took a railroad excursion along the shore.

And were told more than once this was the car they used when filming Iron Will.

Must watch Iron Will I guess!

Last, but not least, is the world's largest rubber duck.

Quack.

Someone went on the tilt a whirl by herself. Based on some of the looks on her face I thought it was going to be tears and mayhem. But she said she liked it. Roman was a no go. And mom for that matter. Zoe wanted to do the little roller coaster, and I would have gone with her but Roman didn't want to be left alone waiting for us. Maybe next time :)

Sugar Lake

We were lucky enough to have Uncle Andy and Aunt Laura invite us to stay with them up north at Sugar Lake Lodge.

This resulted in some good cousin time.

Reading. Always important.

A little golf cart ride around the townhouse (and a neighbor who told Andy to cut it out)

And lake time!

Attempts at a paddle board.

which they handled quite well.

And some play time with cousin Audrey.

What. a. doll.

Zoe loved the big, shallow beach until I went to take something off her leg and is stretched out long. A leech.

No more beach for Zoe. Good thing this happened at the end of our beach visit.

Gotta enjoy some watermelon!

and some yard games.

awwww

this photo turned out nice! on the way back from the beach.

on the pedal boat. My speed.

We actually did get out on double kayaks the next day. I tipped it over 2 times (with Zoe in it) before successfully getting in. Yeah, graceful as heck.
