Itasca State Park

On Friday morning I got home at 6:45am. Tibby and I were on the road with all the camping gear by 7:45 am. The girls went to their last day of school and we headed to the state park to get a camping spot. My first pick was a spot as close to the bathrooms/showers (a.k.a. running water) as possible. Tibby's first pick was in the more wooded area without the running water. I won. Tibby did admit that it was a nice spot. He just needs to understand that I like to be close to the showers so I don't have to flip-flop across the whole campground, and I don't mean my shoes.

After the girls were done with their school day, Grandpa, Grandma, and Daniel brought them up to the park. We ate supper and visited for a while. Soon after Gpa, Gma and Dan left, we went to bed. I was very tired after not really getting much sleep the previous 36 hours.

After a really good nights sleep, the 4 of us went to the Head Waters and drove around the park. In the afternoon, Mike, Jenna, Daniel, Gpa and Gma arrived. Yes, Gpa and Gma AGAIN. We had asked them to camp with us but they did not want to on a busy weekend. After supper, Ranger Dan had to go to work and Gpa and Gma headed home. The girls and Jenna spent most of the day riding bike around the park. The only complain after biking at least 20 miles was sore butts. Jenna slept in the tent with us and Mike spent the night in his pickup with a HUGH gross looking beetle.

Tibby, Mike and I sat by the fire until about midnight so we could see Ranger Dan in action. He looks so cute in his uniform with his badge and cute little pen!

Sunday morning we woke up to rain. We packed up and headed home. We needed to be home by noon because Meggz had to play in the band for graduation.

WE HAD A GREAT WEEKEND AND CAN'T WAIT TIL WE CAN DO IT AGAIN.
