4th of July at Canal Park in Duluth

We were watching Evan, Luke, & J.T. over the 4th of July this year so we decided to take them to Duluth for the fireworks.  We spent a couple of nights at the Canal Park Lodge.  We all had a fun time!

Todd picked up his mom & we all walked down by the bridge to watch the fireworks.

We rented one of the double surreys from Wheel Fun Rentals & rode along the lakefront.

Water fun at the Great Lakes Aquarium.

Throwing rocks in Lake Superior is always fun!
