1st Ever Kvenild Family Vacation!!!

It's been a long time since the Kvenild's went on vacation - there were just six of us then! Now, we've added a few people and our numbers are up to 15 and include some Larsen's and Totushek's as well. Since Larsen's are home for six months, what better opportunity to take a trip then now. So, we loaded up four vehicles and headed for Duluth where we enjoyed 3 days of family-time and relaxing. Here's a bit of our trip, including this shot that could be a Christmas card!












I am attempting to teach my nephew, Isaak, how to skip rocks into Lake Superior. Notice the position of the fingers, perfect for skipping. He's still learning, he'll be skilled in no time.















Even Kathryn & Joey got in on the rock throwing. They seemed to enjoy it as much as the big kids.


Which big kids? See below . . .














These big kids. About 50 yards (give or take) away from shore were some large rocks that could be seen over the water. Kyle, Andy & I were attempting to throw small rocks over these rocks while sitting. Kyle was successful!








Later at the Hotel, we caught Dad sneaking some of my Strongbow cider - looks like he had a few too many (not really, but it's funny to think so).











Mini-golfing at Barker's Island in Superior, Wisconsin is a family tradition. Here we see that, as usual, Tom is waiting for Kim.
















Here we see Kathryn starting her training for Olympic Hurtles at a very young age.

















Kris is training Ike to be the next Tiger Woods. Just look at that swing!!!

















My Mom & Dad were in their glory as they had all 5 of their grand kids together. This is the first ever picture they've had with all the grand kids (and they're all cooperating which is amazing!).















Saturday morning in Duluth was windy and in the 60's. The men got kid duty as the ladies went for coffee. We strolled out to the light house in Canal Park. I opened the covers on Quin's stroller to get a pic of him on his first walk on the pier. He's so bundled up and I think this pic is very cute.





What you don't see is that Ike & Elle are watching the lift bridge go up and a boat go under it. Also very cute pic.








Joey was also enjoying the blustery day.


















Ike & Elle get a tour around the lighthouse as only Uncle Kyle can give.
