Return to Paradise Resort

In July, we returned to Paradise Resort on Moose Lake for our third year. The weather started out great but got rainy and chilly as the week progressed. We still had a really good time swimming, fishing, sightseeing and at the evening campfire.

They had a butterfly exhibit at Itasca State Park that day, and they gave Maddie a monarch butterfly chrysalis to take with her.
