Split Rock Lighthouse State Park

We went camping on the North Shore for two nights.

We could not have asked for more beautiful weather.

We skipped a lot of rocks.

There's the lighthouse:

This was a dangerous business, but nobody got too wet:

Stylish kid:

Back to the campsite for marshmallows... Omri prefers them "raw":

Veronica is learning the art of roasting the perfect marshmallow from her mother:

How you spend time when you are away from screens:


Cart-in campsites are the way to go for a bit of privacy. We were right on the lake too, although you can't really see it in this photo:

The next morning... here's a better view of the lake, just down from our site:

This is on a hike to a waterfall:

We spent the afternoon on the warm, smooth rocks of the beach. The water was unbearably cold. The kids did not make it all the way in. I made it up to my neck. R was the only one who put her head under... but not for long!

Omri really wanted to get out to that island:

Omri had so much fun scrambling up the rocks around our campsite:

He had a seriously good time and did not want to leave.

Veronica was less enthused about camping, although I know she had some fun, whether she will admit it or not.

It was a short but sweet trip. We took our new vehicle with a new bike rack on the back, and it seemed to work out well.

Glad to get out of the house and see some more of Minnesota!
