Instagram of the Day: A Camping Trip with the Boys

The boys and I got out for some fun late last week. We drove to far western MN. Here was an Instagram post from when we got back:

"Back from 3 days/2 nights with my boys at Big Stone Lake State Park. Lots of failed fishing, a fun canoe ride, and some good swimming. The boys can’t wait to go back (they’ve already forgotten the nearly 600 miles of car rides over the last few days). And yes, that’s a s’more with Chips Ahoy Cookies, because #DadsRock."

Charlie on the fishing dock. (One bite, no catches.)


Our site.


Canoeing on day 2.


Sunset on Big Stone Lake (0.5 mile across, 26 miles long).


Swimming at the boat landing.


Our only real "campfire" meal: bacon and eggs that I turned into a breakfast sandwich.


S'mores with cookies!

And my wife posted this: it was an image that I sent her just after we got out there:

Her caption: "Received this pic from Steve this
afternoon. Charlie’s living his best camping life."

Back with more photos shortly.
