Happy Campers

We took the kids to Bear Head State Park up in the Ely/Tower area July 7th through the 9th. It was Rylan's very first real camping trip, so we wanted to keep it short. He did pretty good! There was a couple times in the night that he heard the loons calling and it scared him a little bit, until we reminded him what they were. We had a good time fishing, hiking, swimming, and just spending time outdoors in the beautiful Minnesota nature!


Emery and her little fox, Chestnut! She HAD to have this from the gift shop and I don't think she really ever put it down the whole camping trip!

Rylan was just too tired to walk the trails that morning

Beautiful Bear Head Lake!


Like father, like son


Rylan's very first catch! He was SO happy!

Our little rock climber! He got up this big rock in no time!

"I did it!", he said.

Mmmmm....s'mores!

My big catch!

Rylan said this was his chair and that it was "perfect"!



Lane washing our supper dishes. What a big helper!




Rylan kept himself very entertained by drawing in the dirt with these sticks.
