Camping at Lake Bemidji State Park

Our annual camping trip with friends brought us to Lake Bemidji State Park in northern MN. We reserved a group site this time and it was the best decision ever! So much easier and more fun to have all the tents on one site. No worrying about which site the kids were at, were they watching for traffic, everyone could hang out around the campfire after kids were in bed, food was easily shared - good times!

Every great camping adventure begins with a hearty breakfast :)

Ethan was taking it very seriously.


Loving every moment of camping.
A little break to do some coloring. The kids all got along so well and there was always something for them to do.
A walk along the lake to see what they could find.
Finding some shells - Grace not looking to pleased to be interrupted. ;)
Love hug time!
Keaton, Kaylene and Brendan play a lot of games when camping. So fun!
Our whole group and everyone looking at the camera - amazing!

A little silly to go with the snack.
Fascinating!
The grown ups bringing up the rear - the kids are so fast and full of energy!

Family time!
