We drove west across Minnesota last night for the 4th annual Big Stone Lake camping trip with Great Aunts Linda and Maxine. This tradition has become a favorite part of our summer. http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/state_parks/spk00115_summer.pdf

After returning from Sonja's, the boys and I finished packing and drove to Ingenix to pick up Adam from work. We left the Cities around 3 pm, arriving at campsite 37 in daylight, something that we haven't been able to accomplish in previous years. This is our second year this campsite, which we obtained during a reservation error last year.
A unique display of entertainment self-titled "Collin and Aaron's Amazing Acts" began at dusk when it was time to brush teeth. Unfortunately, the video is difficult to see, but if you listen carefully, you can hear they are "dancing" to the Thomas the Tank Engine Theme Song playing from their toothbrushes. The lightening bugs were unbelievable, providing quite a backdrop to the performance.
The next morning we headed over to the swim beach after breakfast. It was there that Collin discovered a toad, whom he affectionately named "Mexico".
Aaron takes a turn holding "Mexico".
Aaron and Collin giving 'Mexico' a bath in the pail.
Nolan chillin' in the bouncy seat under his receiving blanket...very tasty.
Grandpa and Grandma EIO arrived around noon with Tyler. BaPa EIO and Tyler prepare to buck on Grandpa's reconstructed leg. After Tyler falls off Grandpa gives him an extra kick!
Great Auntie Linda roasting marshmallows with Doubles.
On Sunday morning after our walk in the rain on Bluebird Trail , we found a huge leopard frog...who 'talked' while the boys held him.
Aaron in the big tree at the foot of Bluebird trail.
I think it's safe to say that Collin didn't enjoy the heights as much as Aaron.
