Camping Carnage--Lake Elmo, MN

We camp each first weekend in August with a group from our church at the Lake Elmo Park Reserve near Woodbury, MN. This year we shared a campsite with Aaron and Nikki Grenz (brother-in-law, sister-in-law, cousins, co-camping er,um enthusiasts..) and endured a thunderstorm during night one. Before we experienced the same fate, we took down two campsites and packed our vans in less than 20 minutes...in the dark, with storm sirens blaring in the background (or was that Aaron's kids crying?).
