last week we had our annual trip up the north shore with some wonderful friends....
it is always such a fun time....
lots of fun was had swimming, hiking at Gooseberry Falls, picnicking, campfires & S'mores, BBQs, and enjoying the lake....
throwing rocks into the lake.... climbing upon the big rocks....
just taking in the breathtaking views of the beautiful blue abyss.....
my love for the lake has deep roots and i will never tire of its beauty....
i love that we can share it with our boys....
we also survived a crazy storm that downed a tree and some branches next to our cottage....
the boys made quick work of those though!
Duluth had the brunt of it.... no power for days....
we were fortunate and were only without power for 5 hours but..... no pool for one day....
which the boys did not find so great... thank goodness for a big lake right in front of us!
it made our trip that much more exciting.... :)
we also made one last pit stop on our way home....our college....
where it all began... ;)
we outfitted them in saints gear and the boys thought they were pretty cool....
overall, a great week with friends!!
thanks so much, friends, for such a wonderful week.....we all enjoyed the good company, food, and good times!
we are already looking forward to next time!
now onto the plethora of photos..... :)
