Yea Boo Boo!

Day 1
After our sugar rush in Jordan Minnesota to the Largest Candy Store in Minnesota we headed to Beaver Trails Jellystone park in Austin Minnesota. We were on some very nice roads on they way smooth and not bumpy which always makes for an enjoyable ride. We would've taken interstate 35E down to Interstate I90 but our sugar tooths took over. When we arrived at the park at about 3:00 in the afternoon Thursday, it's  right off the interstate you come off Exit 187 off of I 90 and boom you're there. We went down a long road to the ranger station and checked in while Jennifer was checking us in a lady in a pink golf cart took us to our site who was very pleasent . B1 a nice and level spot with plenty of room and right next to the park so we could watch the kids from under our own canopy. There was plenty of room between RV's and the stagger them so the the hook ups are between the sites and tour campfire ring and picnic table are not looking at the sewer hook up. Big plus in out book. 
The hook ups are in between RV's.

DID I SAY LEVEL.  *maybe lucky
The site

We had rented a golf cart to ride around in so we decided to take a tour of the grounds. With mini golf,pool, pool with slides, inflatable water slides, paddle boats,arcade,petting zoo,an rc track and 4 playgrounds the kids were going to be busy. We decided to have a little dinner and roast hot dogs over a campfire and the kids hit the jumping pillow & the playground.
Jumping Pillow. Lot of time spent on this. 
The playground/a view from my seat. 
It was nice to have the playground right across from the site the kids could feel a little more freedom, and the site was in eye site of the jumping pillow to. The only down side to having the site so close and open to the road and playground is it's very busy & a lot of traffic however we'd take the site again. We decided to break out the RC car and try the track out, we had a ton if fun out there the car isn't the fastest car and the batteries don't last long but it was fun to run it. We all took turns till the batteries wore out and we headed back. We decided to call it a night from all the traveling and went to bed. 
Day 2
We all slept in and after breakfast the kids wanted hit the pools. The 3 slide pool had a height limit 48 inches which my son didn't make and he was bummed. My daughter got to go down it and had a lot of fun.

My son and I went on the inflatable water slide which they said if he can climb to the top he could go on it.
 Can my boy climb! The lines were short on Friday so he got to go up and down a lot and the slide was fast. He loved it, my daughter got in it to and had a blast. Then they both went to the regular pool and jumped in and swam around. When we left the water for awhile we went over to the arcade this arcade gave out tickets and they had a ticket machine that gave out the prizes pretty neat. 
Our favorite 
It was a great Friday we even rode the train. With not a lot of people the kids got to use everything with no lines. Later in the evening Jenns sister came to join us for the weekend. I went over and met my neibours Bill & Melissa who I found out don't live that far from our house. It's funny when you meet people and find out they live just down the road. Small world.  We had a Dutch Oven meat loaf that was awesome for dinner. I had some of the root beer soda I picked up at the candy store, which was fabulous. After dinner the kids played and played. This is the first time I remember our son going to sleep right after we put him to bed and he slept in till 8:30. He was tuckered out.
Day3
I woke up and decided to do my rv park walk. I walk on the park roads all over the park just to see how big it is. The park is 2.21 miles estimated. 
I got back to the site and we had breakfast and hung out all day. We took in the pool again and the parks. My daughter and son took another ride around the park and saw some guys at the rc track with a real fast car I stopped and talked about rc cars for a while and learned a lot about the hobbie. Santa may have to bring a family rc car for next year. *wink. We the. Headed back to the rv and found out there was going to be a dj and dance at the pavilion across the street. We had our dinner bacon wrapped chicken. 
After that we relaxed and listened to the music. 
Day 4 
Dump and Runn this was the last day of the trip. The night before we cleaned up the site outside and got stuff out away so we had time to be lazy in the morning. We let the kids hit the park and we took one last tour on the golf cart and brought it back to the ranger station. We dumped the tanks and cleaned up the rv and headed home. 
We absolutely loved this trip. The park was clean there was plenty to do, the staff was excellent. The weather was fantastic! If you want a fun filled weekend go check out Beaver Trails Jellystone Park in Austin Mn. 
Safe Travels Everyone.
