Our first "camping" trip of the season


This past weekend we ventured up to Wisconsin and spent some time on the river with Charlie's parents. Grandma Lois and Papa Chuck worked really hard getting ready for our (wrecking) crew to arrive. We packed light (but still managed to fill the van). The weather was just right to be out and about, but a little chilly yet to be getting in the water. Katie and Lily still managed to spend some time playing in the water trying to catch different creatures. Elsie and I spent most of the time in the camper away from the mosquitoes and ticks. We did get the chance to venture out for a walk with the front pack and even helped Lily catch her first butterfly! Katie went fishing with Charlie and caught 7 sunfish - she was so excited when Papa fried them up and she got to eat them! Katie and Lily loved playing in the sand, looking for worms, and exploring. The best ending to the trip was stopping at Burnett County Dairy and getting their yummy ice cream cones! They have the best soft serve ice cream that I have ever tasted.
