Camping up North

Mid August we went up north to stay in my parent's camper. We had some friends join us on the camp grounds - the Murphy's and the Jurgenson's. It was fun to spend time with our kids and friends! We had camp fires, swam in the lake, fished, looked for bugs, played ball, at junk food & snacks, stayed up late, and laughed a ton!

Huge thanks to my parents for letting us stay up there! It was fantastic and we can't wait to go up again next summer!

Cool Erik - isn't he cute?!

Isabella - not sure if she liked the tacos - they look a little destroyed!

Jack seemed to like the tacos!

One evening Erik made Puggie Pies for everyone! This is a tradition from my Sister-in-law. You take 2 pieces of bread, butter the outside, and fill it with pie filling. Stuff them in the sandwich makers and cook them over the fire. Sooo yummy!

Close up of the puggie pies cooking! Wish I could have one now!

Andrea just chilling by the camp fire!

On our last day we went to the Mississippi headwaters in Itasca State Park - this is Myles crossing the water at the early part before you get to the main area.

Holly is ready to swim in the headwaters! She loved it - she was excited that there wasn't any weeds like in the lake.

Erik & Myles pause for a quick picture in the headwaters!

Olivia splashing around in the water!

What a nice family picture! Michelle, Olivia, Aaron, & Jonathan

Holly took this picture of me - thought I should include it!
