Camping

We camped with the Christensen's at the Lake Elmo Park Reserve. A great place to camp with little kids because there's plenty to do and it's only 10 minutes away. It worked out great because there were terrible storms both nights and we ended up coming home to sleep. But it was still a fun weekend.

We returned to the campsite early Saturday morning for breakfast. Chris cooked up some ham and eggs. Mathew danced through his breakfast and ended up wearing most of it on his shirt

We pitched a small tent for the kids to play in. It kept them from destroying the tent we intended to sleep in.

The kids went on a bug hunt. There was a lot of prep, but no bugs!

We spent the afternoon playing in the water. Mathew stayed up on the beach and played in a big red tub of water that Matt filled for him. After 4 hours, Mathew finally came down to the waters edge and ventured in...

just in time to watch Matt dump the big red tub of water on Chris!

The boys were exhausted from their afternoon in the sun and water. They collapsed about 2 minutes after we left the water.

McKenna and Gary came out to visit us for dinner and a nature talk about owls.
