happy campers

A little excited to go camping! 

On the road!

First thing first...how did I forget to take a picture of the kids in the tent..ugh!!
Sissy and I took the kids camping this past weekend.  The first time for the boys and I together. Thank goodness for sissy, camping captain..and thanks to my 10 year old niece who did more to set up my tent then i did, like I said..first time! Thanks E :)

After a couple s'mores and goofing around we hit the hay ground- all  cuddled up in our tent, snoozing to the sounds of outdoors.  We woke up and headed out for our hike!

 Over looking the St . Croix

Lucas thought this spot was a peaceful place to re site the Pledge of Allegiance

I loved it, I turned around to hear it just in time. 

He is a Cub Scout now and reminded us of it the entire hike!

 

Lovely spot for a photo

Then we were back on the trail to the...

 The pot holes were Amazing! If you are ever looking for a place to camp in MN, the state park in Taylors Falls was beautiful and you can hike to the potholes. 

Super neat!!

 Tree chair.

 There is also a really neat, huge, paddle boat that you can take a ride on. 

Next time I would do it for sure. 

 Rocks were collected on our hike.
Brought back to camp and painted.

 I loved this part- I love watching my babies create.

New wonderful memories! Man, did we laugh!

Thanks sissy
