Happy campers!

Hi guys happy Thursday!  Jake and I were out of town for a long weekend and took Monday off so my whole week is out of whack.  But instead of bore you with my stories  I'm just going to tell the tale of my weekend with pictures!  Plus lets be honest, I'm just way to lazy, I mean I haven't posted for like 3 weeks, clearly my motivation is lacking...

We went Camping at Sakatah State Park this past weekend, but before we set up camp, we met up with our friend Tony and cheered on my friend Emily and her friend Heidi at the Mankato Mud Run.

nice job ladies!
We went for lunch afterwards with them, then Jake and I headed on to our home away from home for the weekend.
yes, that is a blow-up liger, dont ask me where we got it, but it protected our tent from wild animals

our lovely "dining room" and "living room"

hooray for campfire!  from the first night

Our mornings were spent like this


and our afternoons and evenings like this
morning bike trip on the Sakatah State Trail

ice cream cone stop at 10:30am??  ok :)  *to be fair it was sherbet - thats not as bad right?

afternoon kayaking!


kale chips with lunch - to balance out the ice cream :)



another bike ride in the evening

and we found a new house!  I'll make sure to invite everyone to the housewarming party

Dinners were cooked over the fire, and breakfasts were good ol' granola.  Although we did try to make pancakes one morning but it was a HUGE fail I  someone forgot to pack cooking spray so they stuck to the pan and ended up in little dough blobs - Jake still ate them, he'll eat anything as long as it's got syrup on it.

It was so nice to get out of town, even if it was just for a few days.  I think I like this whole camping thing :)

We've got some fun events coming up this weekend so I'll make sure to take lots of pictures and will be back with those.








Oh, and spoiler alert, I've been running :) Dont alert the media, it hasnt been much but I'll be back with that another time.
