Spring Break Mini Vacation

On Saturday morning we packed up and headed north to Duluth to enjoy some time away from home at the Edgewater Water Park in Duluth. We had a very memorable but great trip. Some of the highlights from our trip were witnessing a serious case of road rage on I35 north of the cities, Ava not having a poopy pants for well over 36 hours and the sleepless nights as a result, watching the first ship of the shipping season coming down icy Lake Superior into Duluth, and driving home in a nasty winter storm (thank goodness we left early this morning). Below are some fun pictures we took while we were away!



Ava in her little swimming suit with Daddy introducing her to the water. She didn't actually go swimming...we only dipped her little toes in the water. Sorry Ava...mommy thinks you're too little to be in the chlorine water.
So most of the time....this is what little Ava did while her brother and sister enjoyed the water slides and lazy river. Good thing mommy brought a good book.

This is the ship we watched make it's way down Lake Superior. We watched the cutter boat brake up the ice for it to make its way through. The kids thought it was pretty cool.

Here are the kids looking out over Duluth with the icy lake behind them. We have all decided, although the Duluth trip was fun.....we much prefer looking out across the warm ocean for spring break and not an icy lake.
