We got there very late Friday night (kids slept well in the car, past Two Harbors with the boys driving them) and settled into a cold cabin. Maren, Docia, & Chris were colder than us as their heaters didn't turn on like they were supposed to. Thankfully, Docia & Chris had a space heater.
Saturday, we headed up to Grand Marais. It was a beautiful day! We had our traditional stop at World's greatest donuts, browsed the shops and had lunch at Angry Trout cafe. Then, we headed to Cascade for a little hike, but Anna wasn't digging being in the packpack. The Mattsons saw the falls & brought the kids back to the car for a nap while the rest of the gang went for a hike. We then went to Lutsen for some alpine sliding and a short walk down to the river. Saturday night, we headed back up to Grand Marais for Sven & Ole's. Yummy! We brought the kids back for bed and played farkel. It looked like Docia was going to win, but Chris pulled off a win on the last round.
Sunday, we headed back home. We stopped at Temperance for a quick walk down to the lake. It wasn't as nice so this wasn't a very long stop for the kids. We also stopped between Two Harbors & Duluth at Scenic Cafe for lunch. Then, a long drive home with 2 tired kids. Paul & I decided to stop at his parents on the way home (didn't think we could make it without another stop, so that was a great diversion). They were gracious enough to feed us and have dinner with us and Anna loved seeing grandma & grandpa.
It was a long weekend, but a lot of fun. We love showing Anna & Alex the beautiful scenery we have so close to us. We are very blessed.
