Itasca

Last weekend we drove up to Itasca State Park for a friend's wedding reception.  We spent one night at the campground, but weren't brave enough to try night #2.  Our little boy is waaay too loud in the mornings for this super open, super quiet campground.  But we did enjoy the time playing outside, time with friends and visting the Mississippi Headwaters.

Ry playing in the cart for our "cart-in" site...which actually only ended up being 20 feet from our car - lol! Note the freezer-paper stenciled tee :)

Good times playing outside

When we made it to the headwaters (after the late afternoon BBQ wedding reception), Ry fell asleep on the short walk from the car to the water!

But, the good parents we are, we woke him up so he wouldn't miss this exciting "first"! :) Based on his expression in this photo, I think I was a little more excited than he was...

The start of the Mississippi (with Jessica -  a friend of Shawn's from highschool)

And with Daddy

Our second night was much more relaxing - we drove to Walker and spent the night with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Roger. 

Heading to the Walker City dock to enjoy the beautiful Sunday morning!
