The girls and I took a camping trip (three nights) to Voyageur Provincial Park. It was F's first camping trip and of course it was so exciting that I don't think she took a single nap. The tent itself was so exciting that she didn't manage to fall asleep until very late the first night. Part of her excitement came from being able to touch the ceiling!
R enjoyed the park workshop on the invasive European Water Chestnut. We all enjoyed our guided night hike to learn about the voyageurs that gave the park its name. The beaches were great especially since the swimming areas were really shallow. R didn't leave the water for long and had a ton of confidence because she could go far while always touching bottom.
To get to the beach closest to our campsite, we would walk a path through a cedar forest which the was a fun place to explore. The deer that nibble at the lower branches give space to walk around and play amongst the trees.
We were sorry we couldn't stay a whole week to catch all the activities and workshops. During our hike through the woods, F said that we were in the "animals' house". Since then, we refer to any woods or forest we walk through as the animals' house. A good thing to remember!
