My parents have rented a cabin on Pelican Lake in Orr, MN for the past 27 years- so this year, we thought it would be fun to join my Dad and sister up there. We had a lot of fun, and knew that my Mom was there in spirit. These are some of my favorites that we took- the rest of the week is on the Rose Picasa web link- I have tried to continue to add little details about each photo....
We did take an overnight trip to Duluth- Scott had never seen Lake Superior- so we took a scenic drive over on Highway 1, through Tower, Ely, Isabella, and then down Highway 61. We stopped at Split Rock Lighthouse and then after dinner at Grandma's, we walked along the shore and "tried" to skip rocks. Tuesday morning, we visited the Great Lakes Aquarium- this is as close as we got to a moose, and Norah was impressed by the big fish.
Tuesday afternoon, we drove back to Orr, and finally were able to try some fishing. We found out just how much Norah DIDN'T want to fish - would NOT touch a fish, and definitely not a worm. Not only that, but playing in a sandbox was also new to her- we just don't have that kind of stuff down here- now put her in a pool....She did enjoy sitting on the dock watching the pelicans swim nearby.
