Family Trip

The first weekend in June, Team Johnson went up North to spend quality time with the whole family. My parents, sister & husband, and brother & wife, all went up north as well so that we could spend 4 days together. My parents are up there often since their camper is located there. We rented a cabin to avoid sleeping in a tent with the kids (not the adventure I wanted to tackle!). The cabin was awesome and both kids insisted on sleeping in their sleeping bag even though there was a bed right next to them. Figures! And there was so much for the kids to do all day long: Playing in the sand & water, canoeing, boating, fishing, hunting for bugs, checking out the turtle, roasting marshmallows over the open camp fire, and so much more! Slow starts in the morning while sipping coffee, and late nights chatting out by the camp fire. What more could we ask for! While up there, we took a quick trip up to the head waters of the mighty Mississippi. That was fun! The kids got soaked, but had a blast. After that, we all ate together at one of the restaurants in the State Park.

We were sad to leave on Sunday, but felt like we tried to enjoy every minute. We are looking forward to going up there again at some point.

Myles insisted on crossing over the slippery rocks. He fell about a million times and was soaking wet! Luckily I had a change of clothes for him.
