Lutsen day 5/Duluth day 1

Friday morning we packed up and drove down to Duluth. We made a stop at the laundromat before we went out to the cabin. We only washed the clothes, not dried them, since it was a gorgeous day and I figured we could air dry them. We got out to the cabin a little after one, unpacked, and had lunch. I hung up the clothes on the clothesline and the kids changed into their swimming suits and went swimming. The cabin we stayed in was on Schultz Lake--a private lake about 10 miles north of Duluth. It was definitely nothing fancy (the carpet in the living/dining room was a yellow and black patter) but was very clean and situated right on the water. There was a nice little beach in front of the cabin and the water was incredibly clean. They also had a paddleboat there and the owners let us use their canoe as well (they live right next door). The cabin also had the best-stocked kitchen of any cabin I've ever stayed in.



Ellie's having some issues getting onto the dock. Can you believe how long her legs are?



The cabin only had a shower so Natalie took a bath in the sink.
After they were done swimming we had a fire--a successful one even. There was a stack of wood there for us to use and lighter fluid to help get the fire started. We roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. It was a much better experience than our last attempt.
