Camping at Minneopa State Park

Memorial Day Weekend = the start of the camping season. The Faust's, Bernard's and Bernard's are already planning and booking our trip for next year!

This year, we enjoyed camping with a new to us pop-up camper. The forecast was not in our favor, rain most of the day for Sat and Sun. Well, God had other plans. Yes, there was rain but it was short showers for the most part. We did set up in the rain, not fun, but much easier when you are setting up a camper than a tent. There were mud puddles and Lucy seemed to find all of them. As the rain stopped and we let Lucy out of the van, she quickly dropped to the ground and rolled in the mud. Any thought of her sleeping in the camper was quickly changed to her sleeping in the van. Amazingly, she was white again very quickly.  She is a self cleaning dog and for that I am thankful.

The weather was cool but wonderful to hike in. We visited the falls on Saturday. They were beautiful. God certainly knows how to create fun places to visit.

Bryce enjoyed playing with Caleb, creating masks, hiking along the river, and of course eating s'mores.



Micah was harder to catch with the camera, but didn't avoid it completely. He enjoyed roasting marshmallows, playing with Riley, and hiking along the river.


Matthew was a little ham all weekend. He played with Caroline and they had a ton of fun. The rocks were at the end of our camp site and provided a great play place and a place for Matthew to enjoy some milk.

Of course, there needs to be some group pictures :)
A few firsts happened this weekend. Riley learned to ride a two wheeled bike. I don't have a picture of her riding but I do have a cute picture of her hiking.

This was also Caleb's first weekend camping. I am so thankful that the Faust's start their kids young. We enjoy camping with them so much and our boys love having the Faust kids around to play with.
