This past week we took the kids all over the east end in search of some awesome places to play in Duluth's elements, and not only did we have a blast, we played outside the entire time...as usual!!

Camp has been a total blast so far this summer, it's hard to believe there are only a couple of weeks of it left!

Fencing... Wrestling... Gymnastics... Here are some kids making stick people with actual sticks: And finally here are some girls being plain old silly....trying to trick us that they were sleeping!! Stay tuned for more nature-loving fun!!
