Up North

It was a long 5 days of vacation in late June, mainly due to the terrible weather we drove through to get there. Our already lengthy 9.5 hour ride turned into almost 15 hours due to the flooding that occured in Duluth. But once we made it to the northwoods of Minnesota, I made the best of our vacation and enjoyed whatever sun poked through the clouds. Our little guy had fun and enjoyed his experience at the lakeside resort. I, of course, spent the vacation chasing him around and taking photos…

yes, you’re seeing it correctly. he’s screaming… and scaring the fish away!

Dekker’s favorite part of the trip…all the tame ducklings that came up the beach to nibble his little toes!

always stop to smell the flowers…

the view outside our room of the expansive landscape

the amazing bridges for the people that own houses on the lake’s islands!

the sunsets on the lake were stunning…im glad the rain let up and allowed me capture at least one!
