The Reese's Pieces: Reese Family Campin' Solo

We really loved every camping trip we've taken so far this summer but this one was just us. We headed to Schroeder Campgrounds near Annandale MN. This is a campground that Steve's Gr & Gr Grochow used to camp very often, in fact there is a sweet lil lady that still runs the place and remembers them both! We mention them every time we go and every time she recalls how nice they were. Well, what can we say, it was a weekend of rain, and more rain. We did however make the best of each deluge and the sunny spots in between. The Knaus' joined us for some beach time in the sun and then a great meal spent under the tent & canopy while it poured. It was a great time and man the laughs we had, the kind that make your belly & cheeks hurt. Yet another spectacular and memorable weekend camping!

Toasting the end of the rain, for a couple hours anyway! Daddy, Zach, & Lisa

The kids hiding out in the camper waiting for the rain to stop so we can roast marshmallows! Brie & Katelyn up high, Conner & Carter below...

Be still my heart... you two just make our hearts sing!

Brienna with her Shirley Temple & umbrella! Oh yeah, we go all out camping!

Conner & one of his major food groups - hot dogs

We let the kids roast their own hot dogs this time, they thought it was huge & to understand this I'll use the 3 bears analogy: Conner likes his barely cooked, Brienna's just right, and Daddy's way over cooked. This way everyone wins!

See this in action, notice Conner's is WAY over the fire, just getting warmed. Brienna is perfectly poised while Daddy's is directly in the inferno! Funny that this is how they prefer their marshmallows too!

Look what I caught - what a whopper!

Brienna's catch, not touching it yet, that's a work in progress right Brie?

We spent Saturday morning fishing as a family, what a hoot that was and the competition to catch fish got pretty heated..... next summer I think we'll be ready to hit the tournament circuits!
