The beginning of July we took a camping trip to Savanna Portage with our friends Stacy and Darrin. The park scenery was absolutely breathtaking- the campground, trails and lakes just nestled in between acres and acres of trees. It was a much needed relaxing weekend. We realized on this trip how much we miss seeing Stacy and Darrin; it was so nice to be able to spend an entire weekend with them.

Friday night we went on a nature walk out to the bog. It was a mile long walk and Vada decided that she needed to be carried the entire time! Jaxson was having so much fun searching for wildlife. This is a goofy picture, but I realized is the only one I have of Stacy and Darrin.
Have you heard of St. Camper Claus? Well- if not he does exist! And he came to OUR campsite on Friday night! The kids were very excited to see Toy Story bubble guns ready for them when they woke up on Saturday morning! Apparently St. (insert Holiday) Claus follows Stacy and Darrin around where ever they go!! :):)
I- However, was not so lucky on Saturday morning. I woke up and could tell there is something wrong with my eye- first thinking it was because I was incredibly tired, but soon realized there was more to it. I ran to the van to look in the mirror and found my eye almost swollen shut. WHY oh WHY do spiders, bugs and mosquitoes love me SOOO much?! I was bit sometime during the night and it took about 24 hours for my eye to look 100% normal again. This started out as some camping trip- first I lost my camera (wrote a sob story in the bathroom where I left it and someone returned it), had a little black and white visitor (yes, a skunk) at our campsite digging in our trash and then woke up to find out my eye was swollen shut! ooohhh- it is an adventure camping with the Bean's! At least we know how to laugh!
Saturday Stacy and Darrin took us boating. I was a little worried about Vada's reaction to the boat, but as you can see she was just fine!
Even Lexi loved the boat!
Saturday night we had one big thunderstorm! Jaxson was not having any of it!
We'll be back!
The next highlight of the weekend was getting see our friends Kari and Tom. We met them when we lived in Grand Forks. Tom is in the air force and shorty after we left they were relocated to Hawaii. I cannot believe that five years later they are back living in Minnesota! We had so much fun reminiscing about about life then and how much it has changed. We both have had two babies since then- so crazy.

Me and Kari!
Wow- that was a lot! :):) I hoping that everyone is enjoying their summer as much as we are!!
Have a great week! The Bean's
