North Shore Trip with my Boys, Niece, and Nephew

>> Wednesday, July 09, 2025

Last year, I took 4 kids up to Lake Vermilion for 4 days. This year, we planned to do something similar! We headed to the North Shore of Lake Superior as my niece and nephew had never been much farther north than Duluth.


Heading out on an adventure!


Gooseberry Falls was the first stop!










Trying not to get her shoes wet!




Boys near the edge of a big drop.


Our next stop was Black Beach!


Evie climbing!


Wes and Charlie working their way higher.


Evie and Henry.


Selfie!








Foggy as we got closer to Grand Marais.


Settling in to our motel. Charlie's bed, and Henry and Ev in the bunk.


And a cot for Wes by the door.


Take-and-bake pizzas in our motel for supper.


Foggy at Artists Point in Grand Marais.


The fog came in and out so often!


The kids and the greatest lake.




Fog over the city.






... and then the fog rolled in again!










"World's Best Donuts" the next morning!


More fog! Here's the scene from a look-out at one minute...


... and here it is literally 1 minute later.


Foggy selfie.


This started poop jokes all day.


At the Pigeon River in Grand Portage State Park along the Canadian border.


Throwing rocks at Canada. :)




Catching crayfish.














The tallest waterfall in MN!






Grand Portage National Monument! Lots of cool history here.


The woman on the right was a gem!










This woman was very kind too.


Testing pelts that would have been traded here years ago.






Four peepers.


Stopped for a picnic lunch at Judge C.R. Magney State Park.


Hiking down 200 steps to "Devil's Kettle."












Looking over the falls and Devil's Kettle on the right.








Back in Grand Marais on the other side of the harbor from Artists Point.










Not foggy this day, but lots of steam coming off the damp ground!






GOATS! At a mini golf course!


The goats would HELP US raise the bowls of food up to them! It was a hoot!


Evie wants goats BADLY.






The big ass turkey was fun too!


Bye bye goats!




Waiting for pizza at Sydney's Frozen Custard (with a VIEW).




We downed 5 pizzas!...


... and then had ice cream!

Back with a few more pics in an upcoming post. This was the first 1.5 days, and we had nearly 2 days left.
