What a busy third day in Duluth. We ended up going on a train ride, spending the day at the beach, eating ice cream, relaxing at Canal Park and going for a horse carriage ride. With all that said, you can imagine the number of photos I am going through!
The beach was the best part of the trip for me. Harrison was all smiles, he loved the water and sand and these photos certainly prove it. The ones posted below are only about a quarter of the keepers from the day.
You maybe wondering how Duluth was after all that flooding they had a few weeks ago...surprisingly we saw very little damage left from the rain, however the Zoo had not re-opened and the beach in Superior was covered in some left over tree debris. Making our away around the trees we found a nice spot to sit and almost immediately Harrison was in the water splashing around. With the average temperature of Lake Superior being 39 degrees, I didn't expect it to be warm, but it was fabulous, I wouldn't be stretching it to say it felt like bath water because I even went in!
Mommy's turn to go after the "alligators."

I am loving all of these father/son moments.
For how sunny it was, I couldn't see a thing...I am happy these turned out!
Funny story with this trek out into the water. Speaking of debris---there was a lot of floating trees or "alligators," however you want to look at it. Harrison had so much fun swimming out and wrestling those alligators. On his last way in he floated on one back and getting off of it he exclaimed, "It hurt me," and he quickly ran away. Next photo he can be seen carrying the heavy "alligator." Take note of those tummy muscles...perhaps he is on his way to a six pac.
Mommy's turn to go after the "alligators."
At this point he loves to be buried in the sand...These photos are takes from the 5 + times he insisted, "more."
And look at this beautiful couple! Harrison is getting to be quite the photographer...only kidding. Grandma McKee met at the beach for the afternoon. With that said, we actually got few family photos from this trip. It seems everyone is so nervous when bring out "big" camera, I shy away from asking strangers for photos because I refuse to ever turn the camera to auto setting.
Wondering about those family photos? Check back tomorrow for a Linked 52 post!
