Hello,
Good thing I have not had a head injury
because I could not have told you the date. I would have come close, but not
spot on. We do look at the schedule we were given so we can make sure we are
doing what we are supposed to do on any particular day.
Leroy and I took these children camping, but
just for one night as they had never been tent camping before. Sophia (7 yr.)
did not seem too excited by it all, but when we got home she commented, “We
should have stayed another night.” Who could have guessed such response?
I will have to confess that I kept comparing
it to our experience in UT. There are pluses and minus as might be expected.
First, the temperature was more comfortable in the mountains with the cold
stream rushing close by. At least it was not 90 in MN, but a mere 84 F. On the
other hand it did cool off at night, but not until about midnight. In MN we did
not need any warm clothes so we could take fewer things although the car was
still quite full. The MN kids packed their own bags. I was impressed at how few
things they took along. In MN there was grass at the campsite so sleeping on
the ground was more comfortable except for the fact that the children had the
best pads under them. Even grass is not totally soft.
The bug population in MN is quite robust. In
the air mosquitoes, bees, and flies abound. There were a few spiders that
frightened Logan. Unfortunately the mosquitoes liked Logan a great deal, in
spite of bug spay. His system reacted almost immediately to the bite. Luckily
we had taken the anti-itch cream with us. In UT the bug population was so small
that it is difficult to tell good stories about them.
This park had a great amount of road that
would be good for riding bikes, but we had not brought them along. Logan did
comment that he would have needed to be in the Burley, so we could pull him.
Both parks were beautiful in their own right.
Paula
