It started out as a walk through Leif Erickson park and The Lakewalk to take a few pictures. They were both being good so we decided to tempt fate and walk all the way down to Canal Park so Renee could "throw rocks in the big blue late [lake]" knowing full well we'd be an hour walk away from a car in the case of a melt-down. They were both having such a good time that we got really crazy and had lunch down in Canal Park. It must be documented that it isn't every time that one of them flips out when we try to do anything (just most of the time)!
The Phil and Ted's loaded up and ready to go:
There was almost no wind and the lake was like glass (really rare for Lake Superior).
Then we got to the good stuff. The rocks. My daughter LOVES rocks. You would not believe the level of excitement she gets out of plain old rocks.
Look at those teeth. They KILL ME.
All and all a great way to spend the 4th of July!
Oh how I wish I understood the facination with rocks! Every single pocket of every single piece of clothing my kids have worn for the lat week has rocks stuffed in them. Laundry has become a very loud project around here!
Yeah for a GREAT day!

How do you like that stroller, by the way? Would you recommend it after having it?
