Whitewater, Sibley, Lake Shetek, Itasca. These are just a few of the names of state parks in Minnesota where my family spent weeks during the summer enjoying the outdoor life of camping. We got up early, ate breakfast and then we were off for the days adventure. At least twice a day we went swimming. That was our favorite past time. We were able to freely roam the campground and find things to do on our own. The only requirement was to show up at meal time. I loved the evenings even more than the days. That's because we spent time in front of the campfire and that meant we were roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. There was singing and storytelling. Ghost stories were abundant (and embellished). What a fun time we had and what a lasting memory was made of life in the outdoors.
