Walk with me, 1.

in walkwithme •  7 years ago 

A tag I have seen some friends use is the Walk With Me tag. Being homeless, we walk A LOT. And it just so happens we live in a super beautiful place, I look forward to sharing our experiences with you. 💙

I try really hard to make sure the trio do not miss out on fun activities other kids get to enjoy. Today was the "Cold Front Festival" here in Duluth, so we made the walk down the hill so we could take part in the festivities.

This church is right outside our shelter.

A shop the trio always love peering into, the tiny succulent plants in the window make them coo like they've seen a puppy.

Fishy bike racks at the library.

We tried to catch the trolly half a dozen times, but never seemed to be in the right place at the right time, haha!

We took the skyway to stay warm and saw this bouey on the Lake Walk when we returned to street level. Pretty neat, Sparrow scurried up there and rang the bell.

The Minnesota Slipbridge. It opens in the middle to let sailboats through in the warmer months.

Tents with vendors were set up, Hot Coco abounded and fire pits placed strategically to keep folks warm.

A snow track was built to climb and slide down, the trio went four times, huge smiles on those little faces!

A big thing for us, none of us had ever been on ice skates before. Even the littlest was able to skate by the time we left and Inari did NOT want to go, lol.

We had a great time today, totally worth the long, hard walk back up the hill in the cold.

I sent you a message in your wallet. Maybe I can help you out . I would need a email contact or a way to contact..

Thank you, I will figure out how to reply. 💙

Fantastic photos. Looks like your kids had a good time.

The #walkwithme tag is certainly great. Your out getting some exercise anyway, why not share it with steemit and maybe get a few dollars along the way:)

Totally agree, the kids kept asking me why I was taking so many pictures. To share our world loves!

This is awesome 💜 it's really beautiful where you live. The big smiles on the kids' faces say it all -- the way they enjoyed the sliding hill. But, among my favourite pictures are the trio gazing at the succulents. You described it so well! And, the wood. Got to have the wood 💚
Stay warm friends. Blessings!!

Thank you! It is truly beautiful here, the Lake is what called us back here.

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to seeing it in Spring/ summer and fall too 💙💚

Hey @hickorymack. Just out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to have Mack family ties in Fargo or Langdon, ND would you? I have tons of family from there and thought this might be an enormous coincidence.

Mack is short for Mackenzie. :)

You have a really beautiful family, you may not have a home, but you have what money can't buy, what most people crave for and that's a united family, a true home at heart.

That's true, I absolutely adore and cherish my babies.

beautiful family. :)

Thank you. 💙

Looks like the kids had so much fun! Beautiful pics <3

They sure did! Inari (the boy) is now requesting skates, I'm going to have to make it happen. 💙

I have no doubt that you will❤

It seems like a great time you had,glad to see your trio happy, keep on.
Hugs

Thank you, their happiness is my happiness. They're great kids, I wish I could give them the world.

A brilliant walk!THere is so much to see and do. Everyone had smiles on their faces. That is the best part.
