June 23rd we headed for Minnesota for our annual camping trip. I didn't take anywhere near as many pictures as I should have but thankful I got a few. We had great weather and the best time! My kids look forward to this trip all year. They love having their cousins, being outside and getting away.
Right before we left home Gracie spotted a MUST HAVE find at a neighbors garage sale. She (and her dad) were sure we needed it. The neighbor was nice enough to deliver it right away. It only took Gracie about 30 seconds to realize she might be able to climb from the top of the climbing wall to the roof of the shed. (we're going to need to move the wall soon!) Gracie didn't want to take off her dress to climb the wall, but she did change into her "climbing shoes", aka, bright pink toms.
We hit the road and made it about 40 miles before the Motorhome broke down :( Thankfully it was just a belt and the wonderful mechanic at Norfolk Iron rushed out to fix it for us. We were back on the road within a couple of hours. We really thought our trip was going to be derailed, but it all worked out. The girls (and Wrigley) were all so patient, Arnie and I were really proud of them.

| The last night Maggie and Hailie decided to sleep in a tent. We were sure they wouldn't make it all night, but the did! They're getting so grown up! |
We were all sorry to pack up and leave. We made it home without any mechanical difficulties and can't wait till next summer!
