Our big three and their cousins Carter and Lily participated in the Sanford Tri for Health in Jackson, MN, on Friday evening. After that, we spent a fun weekend with their family!
I mentioned to my sister in law Angela that a little road trip to Walnut Grove might be in order. It had been a couple of years since my last visit to Junk with Purpose and I was having withdrawals! She agreed, and we both ended up finding a few treasures there. Even the girls liked it! You can find Junk with Purpose right along Highway 14. It's worth the drive--I promise!

After that, we checked out a covered wagon at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Visitor's Center. If you are familiar with the Little House series, there are all sorts of famous names in the Walnut Grove area, including Plum Creek and the nearby town of Sleepy Eye.
We spent Saturday afternoon at the pool and the evening launching water balloons as far as we could. Everyone tried out their launching skills (and some their catching skills, too).
Ahh . . . the perfect way to end a day is a campfire . . .
. . . with marshmallows!
