Today was a walk back to the lakeside but with the Alworth family. Rachel decided this one is the bestest picture from the walk. There wasn't as much ice and the water was calmer today. The excitement came from going up and down a steep hill to peer into the locked lighthouse. New snow + old leaves + everything else found on the forest floor made the climb exciting - but we found a teepee I also finally discovered a thrift shop in the area I wouldn't mind revisiting, which is very exciting. Got some storage boxes and really warm mittens that can actually be used while driving. 

It snowed some overnight but there's a storm front on the way across the country which will hit the area tomorrow evening and linger for about 24 hours, leaving us a predicted foot of snow. The Duluthians will be on their way early tomorrow so it shouldn't affect them. Right now we're sitting around it the apartment drinking coffee and trying not to suffocate from the oil that got in the oven from the roast chicken adventure; Colin just made a wonderful loaf of bread!
