We had a wonderful 4th of July celebrating on the North Shore.  We decided during our quarantine at home that we needed a long weekend away from the house.  We booked a cabin at Grand Superior Lodge and stayed there from Thursday to Sunday.  It was an awesome time to get away and show the boys a new area that John and I enjoy.  We did some hiking, a ropes course, biking, swimming, cliff jumping into the water (yes, I am not kidding.  I was too nervous to take pictures!!).  It is a beautiful area along Lake Superior with a rocky coastline and lots of area to explore.  The last time we were there with the boys we only had Luke and Liam and they were just over a year old.  We took the boys on a 7 mile hike that was a tad longer than any of us expected it to be, but we survived and we were more than happy to be back at the car.  Overall, it was a great time to get away and enjoy a beautiful area and a nice change of pace.
