This weekend, Abbie, Erika, Maggie, Adrian and I pilled in the car and drove up to Grand Marais to see Grandma and Grandpa. We got up to Grandma and Grandpa's late friday. Grandpa wasn't there when we got there as he was watching the UMD Bulldogs beat the St. Cloud State Huskies 2 - 1.
We got up, had a good breakfast and Erika and I went for a run along Lake Superior while Grandma, Grandpa and Abbie made cookies. Then we went to Magney State Park and hiked the 178 stairs to the falls. The water was flowing extremely fast as they have had record rain falls the last couple months. Abbie lead the charge up the stairs on the way back! We stopped at Paradise Beach on Lake Superior and tried to throw all the rocks back in the water. I took the dogs over to Pincushion trails for a quick walk. Grandma made a great dinner and the adults played a couple of games of yahtzee.
We got up and went to Cascade River and hiked up to those falls. Again, the water was unbelievable. We then went to the Colvill Fire Department where one of Dad's friends showed Abbie the equipment and gave her a doll. Here are the photos.
