Week on the North Shore!

We spent a week up north at Castle Haven cabins, and would recommend it to anyone! The cabin was perfect...2 bedroom, 1 bath, with a full kitchen, gas fireplace (set to the thermostat, so it would kick on occasionally), and a beautiful view of Lake Superior! We were lucky to have Jordan, Erin and Flynn join us for most of the week...the boys played so well together, the adults were actually able to relax a little bit and let the boys go! Cael and Flynn definitely kept themselves entertained the majority of the time.

We had several adventures throughout the week...I will highlight a few of them!!

It was one packed car!

Gooseberry Falls

Cael loved the hiking backpack!

We went biking from Gooseberry Falls to Split Rock Lighthouse. Cael did have his own little buggy, but we thought it would be fun to see how the boys fit in the double buggy...let's just say that Jordan was glad he didn't need to pull both boys!!

The tunnels served as good entertainment!
We had a campfire on the rocks on the shore a couple nights after the little boys went to bed
Grand Portage
Grand Marais

Cael and Flynn LOVED throwing rocks into the Lake, and that was an understatement! We could have spent hours doing this...and I think we did by the end of the week!
Snack in Grand Marais, after a Sven and Ole's pizza lunch!
Alpine Slide at Lutsen (notice the fog...the weather could have been more cooperative!)
Riding the gondola at Lutsen

Tetteguche State Park (the sun finally came out!)
Did I mention the boys loved to throw rocks into the water?
On the shore near the cabin...we had a great time!!

Cael was still smiling after all the trips in the car during the week!
