The Monday following our picnic, Kirstin, Jeff, Logan , Liam, Kyle, Tiffany, Ellie, Erik, Judy and I took off for Duluth for a day of adventure. We stayed at a water park for evening fun. I was feeling much better after getting sepsis of the blood five days ago. Here are the
Smentek's walking across one of the sculptures on Canal Park Drive.
And here are the
Larsen's. Are we really excited? Looks can be deceiving.
To out surprise, the largest ship on the Great Lakes, The Paul R
Tregurtha, was going under the aerial life bridge. It was so large that it looked like it would not fit. I have seen movies of ships going under a lift bridge while the bridge was going down and tore the top half off the ship. The operator no longer works there.
Then it was stone throwing time on lake Superior. If we kept it up for much longer, we would have filled it in.
Logan and Liam are standing by an old tug boat.
Didi loves to swing.
Then came the time at the water park. I won't post many pictures but the
Smentek's drifted down the lazy water park river.
Here comes Kyle and Ellie down one of the water slides. There was a giant bucket that filled up with water (probably 100 gallons) and then spilled out over part of the platform. It was about to dump while Ellie and I were in the middle of it. I grabbed her and stood directly under a platform below the bucket, thinking we would be safe. But I did not know there was a back
splash and we got doused with about 30 gallons of water. We were surprised.
Jeff decided to wait for the big bucket to dump and see what happens.
