A week up north

 We took a week long adventure up north in the RV.  We slowly made it all the way up to International Falls.  It was a great week.  We camped, had fires, swam, fished, tie dyed, watched movies at night, hiked, ate a bunch of food and all tolerated the tight corners of the RV for a whole week.  I love getting to have time to hang as a family.  So many fun conversations such as; pick up lines, jokes about boy parts (they all could go on and on about boy parts), yo momma jokes, plans for the future and so many amazing life questions the boys ask about.  I love getting them away from their normal patterns and enforcing 'forced family fun.'  

1st camp site was a bust but start of the trip

Last stop Bemidji 

What a full week and so many pictures of all the adventures we had.  The first night Ansel's hair almost caught on fire because of an amber the flew of the fire.  We had pizza in International Falls and Bemidji.  The fishing trip was a full day 8 am-5 pm.  Ansel was done around 10 am but fell asleep a couple of times.  We all caught something- thankfully!  Wish we would have caught more but got to have a fish fry and bring some home in the freezer.  I broke the handle on one of the windows of the RV- classic mom as the boys say.  B fixed it right away!  Seriously why am I so accident prone?!  We had the best weather the whole week.  It rained on day for a short time, but otherwise we has 80's and sunny.   We all got sun burnt on the fishing trip and are now peeling.  I was worried about some one getting motion sick and forgot the sun block!   We all were ready to be home and sleep in our own beds.
