Memorial Day Weekend - Flandrau State Park

On Memorial Day Weekend, we were supposed to meet Uncle Don camping. However, plans changed at the last minute and he couldn't make it. On a fly, we started calling nearby state parks for potential availability. We landed at Flandau State Park, in New Ulm, about 1 1/2 hours from the Twin Cities. We had a great weekend. At our campsite, the kids enjoyed playing games and making smores and exploring. And on the first night, Presley lost a tooth. On the second night, she got a surprise visit from the tooth fairy who came and brought her a dollar coin for her tooth. This was also an exciting weekend because the kids got to try out their new fishing poles (even if we didn't catch anything). And the kids impressed Mom and Dad by hiking a 3 mile river trail (without much complaining). On our last day, we stopped by the Schell brewery, a quaint local brewery with beautiful gardens and live peacocks. This was Mom's 3rd brewery in less than a week :).
