One more trip to the North Shore!

Thursday we left to spend a long weekend at the North Shore Minnesota.  We stopped by Moose Lake for dinner then spent the night at Black Bear where we did a tiny bit of black jack and then met up with the kids and their friends for a weekend of camping in the woods. 

Steve and I set up the two camp sites before the kids joined us. We brought everything but a shower! 

 We did make one stop at the Pink Beach, Iona's beach before we left the kids to drive up on their own. They also stopped at the black beach and the Temperance River.

 We drove up to Lake Claira our favorite camping spot in the woods.

 Friday night, we just set up camp and made a chicken dinner.

A bonfire with smores.

 We drove up to Grand Portage for the Pow Wow.

We all shared some Indian Fry bread taco's. 

 We hiked to the tallest waterfall in Minnesota

Had drinks and dinner in Grand Marais Saturday night.

Sunday, was all about relaxing, going down to Lutsen by Lake Superior, kayaking in the woods. 

 A picnic lunch while we kayaked and tubed in the lake by Boundary Waters.

Night time squaching. It gets dark out there. The moon was shining bright all nights. We did get up around 4am and the stars were incredible!

Monday, we headed home. We first had a three hour bike ride that we were not planning. A Good reminder that when ever your in the woods, stick together! Do not go out on your own.
