As I opened the patio door this morning it became quite apparent by the cool chill that crept in that summer is really winding down; a quick reflection on our summer, or lack of, it sends an urgency for me to find something else for us to log down in our 2011 summer activities.We so far have made a trip to the cities and did the Valley Fair, MN Zoo, Mall of America and the outlet malls, and a trip to mom and dad's lake...but all of our other weekends have been here in town or quick trips to Evansville or Grand Forks; all fund but as always I want more! But...the one thing we haven't done this year or ever, is an actual camping trip; something all of us I am quite certain would enjoy but just haven't had the opportunity or more so the ambition to sleep in a tent. Well, thanks to a great grandfather in law...we are now the proud owners of a 1978 RV. Yep...its an oldie but it was free, given with love, and was unbelievably taken care of.
Blaine made reservations for us at a camp ground close to Walker MN for this weekend. We are all pretty excited for the trip. The campground is actually on a island, and has a swimming area with a water tramp, a fishing dock, canoes that can be rented and we will bring out boat along to pull the kids behind in the tube.
So while the week continues with work, football, hockey camps, guitar lessons and softball games we are all now eagerly anticipating our weekend of adventure.
If anyone has any great reminders or camping tips...send them our way....we just might need them!
Here are some pictures I found on line of the lake...looks beautiful!
