Minneopa State Park

We had a fun adventure with my friend Kaysie and her kids at Minneopa State Park!  Once we arrived at the park, we drove through the bison viewing area.  It was fun to see them all congregating right by the road in a water/mud hole.  We then parked near the old windmill and hiked along the trail there for a bit.

After that, we drove over to the picnic area/waterfall area and hiked down to the waterfall.  The kids especially loved the parts where they could climb on rocks and be right down by the water.  This area was much less buggy than the windmill area had been.  

Kaysie and I had to laugh when we showed up at their house and we had the same tank top on (we also have the same water bottles).  The same thing had happened when we went to their house last time, and we were wearing the same color tank top and shorts.  Great minds think alike!

We enjoyed a picnic lunch before heading out, then stopped at a fun local playground that is farm-themed.  We were going to get ice cream at a place in town, but when we realized it wasn't going to open for a couple of hours, we drove to Henderson to get ice cream instead.  It was a beautiful day, and fun to hang out with good friends!
