walking across the duluth lift bridge





during our most recent trip to duluth, the evening that we arrived was very warm and perfect for walking around the canal. for the first time, i got to walk across the big lift bridge that spans the canal that the ships use to reach the bay. i got to see 3 light houses and even climbed up on the wall (by myself) to sit by my grandpa.











i felt pretty cool because the shoes that my grandma got for me several months ago fit me now -- just in time for spring!!! my mom thinks that the heal detail is pretty cool - how they paint it to make it look flat, but really there is a rounded rubber heal.













after walking across the BIG bridge we went to the beach and i got to do some drawing in the sand with a big driftwood stick. this is a flower that i drew for my mom.
