We had a long day at the campground. Coloring contest (that they didn’t win 😔). Playground. Petting zoo. Swimming. Jumping. Catching lightning bugs. S’mores. Whew!

a camping we will go
We’re spending the week at my favorite Minnesota campground. We had an hour drive to get there. The girls rode in the backseat. Their dolls Ella and Marabelle rode shotgun. We didn’t waste any time getting to the pool. Followed by dinner with friends and catching lightning bugs.

Happiness is stopping for Italian Ice on the way home from picking up our CSA box. Emma loves to sample a couple flavors before making a decision. Olivia makes her decision based on color. Today Emma went with watermelon, and Olivia wanted the yellow one (mango).

dragonfly festival
There are tons of festivals around here. Some are better than others. This one surprised us and turned out to be a pretty good one. The guy explaining to the girls all the stuff they found in the pond.

waterpark
I think this year Emma is a little too big for the toddler time at the waterpark. We’re going back next week to do the big slides, which I’m pretty sure Emma will love… and Olivia will be mad that she can’t do! 😂
