Camping in Duluth

At the end of July, we took the whole family camping in Duluth.  This is the 1st time that we have been camping with all 3 kids.  We had previously taken Soph and Gav once when they were little.

Our first stop on the way was Jay Cooke State Park...

Love this one of my kiddos!

Cheese!

Such pretty scenery!

 

Patrick.

 

Cute boys.

Our girl.

 

Grey Grey.

He just cracks me up!

Gav Man.

Love this one of Soph and her different color socks:)

Me and my babes:)

Beautiful.

At our campsite after we got everything set up.

Oh that smile:)

Out for a little hike...

That evening we went down to the lake...this was one of my favorite parts of the trip...so pretty and the kids just loved it!

 

Soph..so adventuresome.

Love this pic...so cool.

 

The kids loved playing in the water and on the rocks.

My sweet little boy.

Love that smile!

Gav loved those big smooth rocks.

 

Look how far Soph is out there!

"Oh pretty rock"

Showing off their big muscles...

The boys had so much fun throwing rocks...

Such a pretty spot.

Roasting marshmallows.

 

The next morning we went to this adventure park right within our campground.

 

 

 

 

Soph and I ready to go down the alpine coaster....it was super fast and super fun!

Patrick and Gav also went as well.

 

Playing some mini golf for Grey...poor little guy was a bit too little to do most things.  But he loved the golf even though the course was pretty disappointing.

It started raining in the afternoon and there were supposed to be storms that night.  We decided that we had to pack up camp one night early and go into  Duluth.  We tried to find a hotel room in or around Duluth but could not.  So, we had some fun walking around Duluth and had dinner and then had to head home.

Walking around Duluth...

While it was sad to have to leave a night early....we did have a lot of fun while we were there and really did everything that we had planned on doing.  With that said....we probably won't be going camping anytime soon...maybe when the kids are older...it is a lot of work!
