I spent August 3rd through the 8th with my parents and aunt Mary & uncle Dan. (& Craig for 2 days) We stayed at Father Hennepin State Park up in Isle, MN on Mile Lacs Lake. Craig came home during the weekend while I was up at the cabin in Amery, WI and the day after I came home the two of us drove up to stay with the others in the campground. I think this was my first time camping that I really didn’t need any bug spray! The park has a really nice long & sandy beach, paved paths, and some hiking trails. The downsides were that it was crowded and the sites had no privacy and the park itself is kind of small. I think it would be the perfect park if the campsites had more privacy because that was a BIG downside. There were people walking through our site to theirs and while sitting around you almost had to look at your neighbors because they were so close with nothing seperating the sites.
Luke riding in Craig’s lap. Craig put on the brakes and poor Luke’s head smacked into the horn on the wheel. It was pretty comical but also a good reason your dog shouldn’t ride on your lap.
Gracie in the back seat where she later threw up a clump of grass.
Craig & Luke on a dock on our first walk around the park. Notice how you can’t see the shoreline on the other side of the lake. Mile Lacs is huge!
Nice sandy beach.
Me.
Dan & Craig.
Duckies!
It seems like everyone has these recliner chairs now.
Playing some washer and box game. (Almost the same as but not as good as cornhole).
It took some time for Gracie to get used to being tied up because at home she’s always running free.
Sunset!
Dad & the puppies.
Some funky mushrooms.
More duckies! (I love ducks).
On another walk.
We played a very loooong game of Canasta followed by a couple games of Liverpool.
The only deer I see the whole time I’m there & it’s an albino one!
