safety.

safety first! and so began the notion of claiming free life jackets for the kiddos as summer quickly approaches. and everyone knows that summer in minnesota means laketime - yeah! little did we know that we'd be swimming through the kohl's parking lot for hours in order to wear these proudly. one hour of traffic in torrential downpour, then a two-hour wait with umbrellas, circumventing the parking lot before snaking through disney-like lines. lots of families, lots of kids, lots of ponchos. all for the sake of safety! and we are so thankful to both kohl's & essentia health for providing free life jackets to kids in duluth this summer. especially our kids. we just didn't know what a WET adventure we had signed up for this evening... here's to getting wet (safely) during the upcoming hot days of summer!
