I love cheese sticks!!

So Zoey and I have been having a lot of "Mommy and me" days since I started my new job and have Tuesdays off.
Granted we have been sleeping in on those days, we do get a lot done.
We have been checking out a lot of things available to us right here close to home in good ole Apple Valley/Burnsville/Eagan area. Most of the things we have discovered we would like to explore more when Daddy has a day off and can join us.
We have checked out Terrace Oaks. They have some nice hiking/biking trails and a neat-o ice hockey rink with a gate so we can play ball....OFF LEASH...high five!
We have also checked out Lebanon Hills. Again, they have nice hiking/biking trails and the scenery is like being somewhere else. Except for the distant noise of traffic and the occasional airplane over head, you would think you were elsewhere, like ohhh, let's say, Glacier Nat'l Park! Ok that may be a bit extreme, let's say, up north Minnesoootah!
We have also checked out the local Dakota County campground located within Lebanon Hills. It's pretty nice. It has 20 or so tent campsites with hook up/water/electric/fire rings. We like site 79. It's tucked back in the woods with a nice driveway to park the jeep. Another spot in the heart of the city that we never knew was there and again feels like you're somewhere else.
I think a camping weekend to the great outdoors located in none other than Apple Valley we would be pretty nice. Just think, we wouldn't use a lot of gas getting there, we would be close to home if we forgot something and we can all say we went camping a lot this summer. Just a thought.
Shout out to DQ for the cute doggy ice cream cup Zoey got today. She shoved her whole head inside the cup.....
