Duluth Day 2

We started Saturday morning with a delicious breakfast at the hotel. There was some fest going on here this weekend so there were more boats/ships than normal, tents with food and music, and these pirate ships that went in and out of the canal and put on a show out on the lake sending cannons off.

We rented a 6 person bike and toted around for an hour or so. The boys got a kick out of it and Matt and I got some exercise in.

We of course had to make a stop at our favorite spot for throwing some rocks.

We enjoyed watching the bridge go up and down.

After making lunch we headed to Park Point to the beach. We stayed there longer than planned because the boys were having so much fun. Again, ALL of my boys. I joke about it often, but I truly do love that Matt is such a boy at heart when he plays with the boys. Wouldn't want it any other way.

After the beach we came back and Nolan and Lucas took a short nap while Jacob and Connor played Pokemon cards on our patio and enjoyed watching these people walk the tight rope over to what is called the "cribs". This ship/barge was fun to watch go through the canal also.

For dinner we took the pizza train ride. The boys were excited being they'd never been on a train before. It was fun and glad we did it, however it got long and our car was unfortunately the only one with the air not working. It was hot. Lucas got antsy about the last 45 minutes or so ( it was 2 -1/2 hours long), but the older boys played cards and were fine.

Each person got 1/2 a pizza and a pop. Sad to say we only had one piece left (what is our grocery bill going to look like in a few years??!!!).

After the train ride the boys made some s'mores and then took a night swim in the roof top pool. They thought it was pretty cool, plus it was as warm as a bath tub would be. ;)
