Hidden Bluffs - First Half of Vacation

We started our vacation picking up our fixed camper on our way to Hidden Bluffs Resort in southern Minnesota.  Yes, we camped at Hidden Bluffs earlier this summer. On the way home from that trip the axle of our camper broke. Now it is all fixed, so we had to travel south to pick it up. Fortunately, we had no plans to go camping until it was all fixed. As a result, we camped at Hidden Bluffs for 3 nights before coming home to wash clothes and repack before heading to Family Camp at Covenant Pines.

Nana and PopPop joined us for the 4 day 3 night trip to Hidden Bluffs.  It is fun to vacation with grandparents. The boys get to build special memories and we have adults to talk with or in some cases irritate. Derek decided he needed to annoy his mother on more then one occasion. Here he is bringing the fire to her.

The boys loved swimming in the pool and trying to tame the shark.

Hiking is a part of every camping trip.  This time we walked over and through a river.

Sometimes you just need PopPop's shoulder to make things better.

Hiking holing Nana's hand is the best.

Derek decided I needed to have my picture taken too.

Balloon Rockets were a hit while we were at our campsite.
