Spring Break - Lake Superior & the Minnesota Zoo

So we had some free time over Spring Break and headed to the Zoo, we took Daniel and Leah.  It was a nice warm day so the animals were really active.  Especially the Brown Bears.  

We also saw some funny looking hens!

Later in the week we headed up to Duluth for a short get away.  It was great, as always we packed a lot in but also made some time to just relax at the hotel which was right on the shore of Lake Superior!

We spent some time at The Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth on our way....

Relaxing at the hotel.....even Cosmo enjoyed some down time!

We hiked around Split Rock Lighthouse

At night we made sure to light a fire and make S'mores of course!

More hiking on the beach!

At the hotel there is a tradition to paint the rocks that make up the beach and leave them behind in a pile.....so we partook.  We also made one to bring home as a souvenir.
