Week In Review

Greetings! Here is an update on the past few days. On Thursday, we drove to Copper Harbor and toured the Delaware Copper Mine. Then we took a boat tour out to Copper Harbor Lighthouse. After a short tour of the island and many clicks of our camera buttons, we climbed into the small boat and headed back to the dock. We also went to Eagle Harbor Lighthouse. The boys had a great time sitting on the huge rocks and throwing little rocks in the water while Dad took pictures of the Lighthouse and Mom and I took pictures of the gorgeous water.
Friday: We traveled to Duluth, MN and stayed at a KOA kampground.
Saturday: David got up early(3:30am Central Time) to run the Half-Voyageur Trail Marathon. When we woke up, we all got ready to meet him at the finish line. The boys and I ran the last 2/10 0f a mile with him! After Dad and Nathan took a quick dip in the pool, we drove a few hours to the Mall of America where we spent a grand total of 3 hours. The LegoLand was very crowded but very cool. There was a huge clock made entirely out of Legos! It had shoes, and even the laces worked!!
Josiah went into the Apple Store and was very blessed to receive a brand new iPod! The center button stopped working for the second time, and it was no longer under warranty. He left very grateful! We ate dinner at a Taco Bell outside of the mall, and drove 2 hours back to the kampground.
Sunday: Everyone packed up and drove to Bemidji, MN where we stayed at another KOA. David and the kids swam in the pool while Monica journaled. After many attempts to keep the fire lit, Monica finally did it! David and the kids went to the Ice Cream Social and came back VERY full. We all sat by the fire and talked with our "neighbors" for quite some time.
Today: This morning we ate breakfast at the KOA office, and packed up, ready to go to the Headwaters of Mississippi. After crossing a few times, we left, embarking on a 6 hour drive! We listened to many Adventures in Odyssey's and slept alot. (No worries, both drivers stayed awake!) :)

More to come! Thanks for praying for us! We have been blessed to have only experienced one leak so far in the camper. Huzzah!

Happy Kampers signing off!
