Great Outdoors...

The family went camping this past weekend with some family friends. After packing up most of our house, we headed north to a beautiful campground on the shores of Leech Lake.

We borrowed a vintage camper that Dan couldn't lay anywhere in without being in the fetal position. :) Remember what we camped in as kids? So, we threw the tent in also and guessed that having the camper along would at least ensure good weather for us. It also meant that we could bring Samson along and have a place to pack all the stuff we need to spend a few days in the great out of doors! Otherwise, we look like the Clampets going to Beverly Hills with things hanging off the back and top of the vehicle. The kids really don't enjoy having to sit on their sleeping bags and hold a pan of brownies.

Anyway, we got to the campground around 1 pm Friday and set up our little home away from home. Our friends showed up with their three children in tow an hour or so later.

We enjoyed sunny, warm days and cool evenings, campfires and fishing (for nothing I might add), swimming and frog races, hiking and great conversations.
The first question when we got home was, "When can we go again?"

Oh my gosh it looks like you guys had so much fun! No wonder the kids want to go back! Your description of things had me laughing out loud :)
