Rainy, wet week of camping!

Stayed for 6 days at Bearhead Lake State Park by Ely, MN and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.  It rained for all but one day of the week! Here was our campsite. The conversation of the week was figuring out wether or not it was raining, drizzling, or misting....
Wild lupine at its peak growing in the ditches.

Spent about 4 hours one wet day at the International Wolf Center which was fascinating.  There were 2 wolves that you could watch in their 1 1/2 acre natural habitat.  Many speakers, movies and informational displays to take in also.

Also visited the Soudan Underground Mine State Park.

Did some yo-yos, cross stitch, reading.  Our one sunny day Micaela went kayaking on Bearhead Lake.  We saw loons, deer, and a bald eagle.  She saw fish jumping in the lake.


As we packed up to leave, Micaela made a fairy house to leave at our campsite.
