Headwaters of the Mississippi!

While up in Minnesota we also went to Lake Itasca State Park...where the headwaters of the Mississippi River are. I have always wanted to visit where this mighty river starts and now not only have I visited but I have stuck my feet in the water! :) It was a great place for the kids to play and get wet...they loved every minute of it!
Chris liked climbing across the rocks...one side is Lake Itasca and as the water flows over the rocks that is the beginning of the Mississippi! :)
Kate was not a fan of sticking her feet in the water!
Surprisingly...Daniel LOVED it!
This was such a fantastic day! We also got to see Minnesota's largest white pine tree...the kids got to play on the beach of the lake...they got to climb a fire tower....it was a great day! :)
