Our first stop was Thunder Oak Cheese Farm, where this little goat welcomed us... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of us, feeling brave, fed him... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
before heading into the store to see all these cheeses... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and so many dutch and northern european goodies, it was like meeting old friends |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and a final farewell to the goat, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
before heading off to Little Trout Bay |

At a Minnesota State Park, Emily practiced skipping rocks |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Emily learned from the master stone skipper |

In Grand Marais, we stopped in a shop called "Beth's Fine Gifts" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And how cool is this... an old fashioned small town parade |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we stood on the sidewalk and got to watch the whole thing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ten floats went around the block two times... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
after the parade we walked to the shore... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By the harbor, we ate dinner across from here |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fresh trout, grilled veggie wrap, walleye plank, ... scrumptious... all while looking out on the harbor and reading about Lake Superior shipwrecks |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the right side of the harbor.... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We snapped photos of craft ideas for Beth |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The girls noticed the little bears atop the poles byt the marina |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At dusk, at water's edge just before the fireworks. |
