Indoor Fun for Parents and Kids

It may be summer at last here in Duluth, but you can’t trust that that will mean nice weather and blue skies. While plenty of hardy souls may brave rain to have fun outdoors now that the temperatures are too high for snow, plenty of us would like to find something pleasant to do indoors when it is showering. In this blog, we are covering a few family-friendly activities for a rainy day in Duluth MN.
