Cell phone dump...

So for my Mother's Day presents, I finally moved up in the real world and got a "Smart phone", the only problem with said smart phone is that I forget to pull out my normal camera! There for I ended up with over 200 pictures on my phone since I got it a couple weeks ago and now I dumped them all onto my computer and deleted the bad ones and kept some goodies and then narrowed it down. Unless you're a friend of mine on Facebook, this is probably the first time you've seen these pictures. The nice thing about my new phone is I can upload the pictures right to facebook as I take them, I know I can do the same for my blog, as I downloaded an application for it, I just haven't had time to play with it to see how it works! So enjoy these!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was beautiful on thee day north shore so we decided to go to Gooseberry Falls for the day. We hadn't been there in 2 years, the last time we were there Addie was just a few months old. Some how Paul remembered a lot from the last time we were there and he was showing Mary and Ron all around and telling them all about it! We had a late lunch at Betty's Pies. We really wanted to go to Rustic Inn Cafe, along the north shore drive, but when we got there you couldn't even get a parking spot, so we decided to continue south and stopped in at Betty's Pies. The food was really good and the banana cream pie was amazing! I really wanted lemon meringue, but they ran out just as we were being seated!

Mother's Day Weekend...

For Mother's Day weekend we went to Duluth with Mary and Ron. The kids were excited to show Grandma and Grandpa all around Duluth and to show them all of their favorite things. We stayed 3 nights that the Inn on Lake Superior...our favorite place to stay up there. Everyone had a great time. I have lots of pictures, so there will be a couple of posts!

Pauly's favorite activity...skipping rocks!

Coast Guard Cutter coming in.

Stella slept the entire time we were in Duluth in the fall...so she took in the sights this time!
