Weekend Wrap-Up: The Duluth Edition

Happy Sunday!  We had a great weekend- most of it spent up in Duluth visiting Uncle Dan. 

We left Friday at nap time and this girl slept almost the entire way...whew!!!

 We spent the afternoon at Leif Erickson park.

 Friday night we met Dan at the police station and got a tour.  Cal got to "drive" both a police car AND a fire truck!

Saturday morning we headed down to the depot at Canal Park and took a ride on the "Pumpkin Train."  The Helds just happened to be up north too, so they joined us for the ride!  We got to ride a legit train to a field where they dumped a bunch of pumpkins  pumpkin patch.  After the ride, Cal got her face painted. 

 Saturday afternoon (after no nap), we went back down to Canal Park.  Of course, after spending a couple of hours in her bed wide awake, she fell asleep during the 15 minute car ride.  It took awhile to perk her up, but she was excited to explore the harbor.  We even got to see a huge ship come in and go under the lift bridge.

After sight seeing we decided to head home since our toddler was going on only a 15 minute nap.  We had to do major Disney singalongs, and then finally pull out the iPad to keep her awake the whole ride home.

Soooo tired...but MUST. WATCH. MICKEY. MOUSE.

We made it home by 8:00 and bedtime was easy.  Phew.

Today was a desperately needed cleaning day.  But we did manage an outing with Auntie Yoda and Auntie Mari.  It was too beautiful outside to not do something, so we headed to Centennial Lakes and Cherry Berry for a treat.

It was a perfect fall weekend.  We have a busy week ahead...I can't BELIEVE how fast October is flying by.
