Tuma Family Camping Trip - Labor Day Wknd 2007

We spent the weekend with Joe's family up at Hickory Lake Campground outside of Aitkin. We had a great time. There was so much to do! The kids (of ALL ages) had a great time!

Emma (2), Evan (4), and Abby (1) settling into the camping routine.

The campground had a Gathering Room which had coloring books, boardgames, puzzles, etc.
(Plus....a personal highlight...free coffee every morning!)



Abby loved the playground! There was a climbing wall and a big yellow slide!

Naptime proved to be a challenge.

A very exhausting challenge.

The solution that eventually presented itself was to plop Abby in Auntie Carrie's bike buggy and drive in circles around and around the campground until she zonked out.

Right across from our campsite was a volleyball court...which in our case doubled as a GIANT sandbox. The kids had a blast playing in the sand. Here Evan & Abby are playing Tonka trucks on Sunday.

The campground had lots of little groupings of red adirondak chairs all over the place. Monday morning Abby & I went for a walk through the campground and stopped to play at one set of little chairs before heading for home.
