Labor Day 2012

So I almost considered not even bothering to put this post up since we're already a week and a half past Labor Day... But this trip marked our fifth state park that we've camped in, so it was another item off the 101 in 1001 list and I wanted to at least document that. And since our trip to the MN State Fair was the most exciting part of our weekend I won't bore you with lots of meaningless details--just the pictures (since I'm sure you've all been waiting anxiously for those!)

Our awesome campsite
There was a ton of wildlife in the area--including these super cute little mice! We also had some deer come to within ten yards of our tent, but didn't want to scare them away by getting the camera
The park (Willow River State Park) had lots of hiking trails and a pretty sweet waterfall on its property. If you enlarge the picture you can see the tons of people that were playing in the (super cold!) water. Definitely a fun family spot 
Not much else to report--we're pretty laid back campers so when we weren't at the fair we were just hiking, napping in our hammocks, or doing logic/Sudoku puzzles! We really enjoyed the park and would definitely consider going back there (the five hour drive was a little long, but we loved the proximity to Minneapolis!)
