A few weeks ago we got away as a family to celebrate Jules’ birthday. We decided to head North to Duluth, an adorable little town that’s set right on Lake Superior. It’s quite idyllic actually.

It was a bit chilly that weekend but it was still fun to watch the boats come in..

Tate was a little frustrated at this point. He just wanted to chase seagulls:)

It didn’t last long….

 It was a great family time.

It got even better when the kiddos could throw rocks…

After a few wet pants legs, we headed over to the aquarium and let the kiddos explore all the creatures. We also ended up staying at a water park for the kiddos. They gave us a great home school discount which was a huge score as well. Gotta love that!

The last day the sun came out at sunset so we took advantage and went to a look out point over the city…

Tate loved climbing on all of the rocks.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers on Jules’ birthday. We can’t believe all the love. It’s hard to think that this time last year we were savoring every moment with that little cutie.

I’m gonna leave you with a little sneak peek to another one of the projects that I finished and will show you next week. It something that we use everyday and I just love how it turned out!
