There is so much to do on the north shore, which made deciding what to do a little difficult for our short weekend of camping. I really wanted to visit Tettegouche State Park that was 4 miles away from our campground. It is supposed to be amazing and it'

Right outside our campground is an adventure ropes park. Not my thing. But Emma saw it and wanted to try it. I must say... I am pretty impressed. The whole system was pretty sophisticated and Emma figured it out quickly. All I can imagine is falling to my death. Clearly

Another weekend... another camping trip to a new campground. This time we headed 4 hours from home, past Duluth, up to the north shore. We stumbled upon this campground last year when we visited Black Beach. It was still being built and just opened this summer. The best part...? It

What a fun weekend! We made new friends, had tons of fun and ate lots of s'mores. Apparently I got a lot of pictures of Olivia and only a few of Emma. 🤷🏼♀️ I've never been a fan of s'mores... but I can eat a

The weather forecast was not great today. Luckily it didn't end up raining, but it was overcast and not very hot all day. Didn't matter... Emma still insisted on going tubing down the river. Tonight the campground did a wagon ride to the petting zoo, which

Olivia's first trail ride! She was too young to ride by herself, but this place had a double saddle so she could ride with me. Emma had to take a break from horseback riding lessons for the summer, so she was pretty excited to be back on a
