On The Edge

We made an impromptu road trip up the North Shore of Lake Superior last Saturday.  It was Sebastian’s birthday and he wanted to keep things low-key.  We made our way past Two Harbors, Gooseberry Falls and Castle Danger and brought the kids to Palisade Head.  It is a favorite place to go for incredible views of the lake and 200-300 foot cliffs above the water’s surface.  The cliffs without railings paired with gusty high winds made it a bit nerve-wracking for Mike who is not a fan of heights.

We made a stop in Silver Bay on the way home.  High waves were crashing along the lake shore and we found the perfect place to watch it happen and feel the spray of the water as the waves hit the rocky shoreline.  I will post those photos this weekend. Check back!

Happy 15th Birthday Sebastian!  Here is your top 15 list for your 15th birthday.

15. You are a licensed driver…of boats.

13. You had perfect attendance in school last year.

12. You had a 4.0 GPA in 8th grade and you are working on that for 9th grade.  Honors English and Geometry will give you a challenge, but we know you can do it.

5. Your math skills exceed your Mom’s.

3. Your favorite thing to do on vacation is drive the boat.

2. You don’t mind going to the very top of the ladder to paint the upper level of the shed.

1. You are an awesome son, brother, nephew, grandson and friend.
