School's out for the summer!

We finished up homeschool for the summer. We all were going a bit stir crazy so we finished up the Friday before Memorial Day.

We then celebrated by taking a trip to Gooseberry Falls with a friend and her boys for the day. 

We had a great time! The water was going over the falls so quickly and the water was also quite chilly so we decided to forgo swimming in them. 

We also brought along a picnic, and then ended the day in Duluth. As luck would have it, a ship was just leaving harbor and we were there to see the bridge raise and lower. 

We walked along the boardwalk and took some nice pics. 

We had so much fun we are thinking of doing it next year too.
