I grew up in IA as a little girl and I do remember camping. I just don't remember where! I am researching where I want to take the kids this summer- I want them to see and catch/release lightening bugs! We don't have them here in Colorado Springs. Any suggestions on where and what time of the summer we should go? I remember a park called Scotts Bluff or something?
Where else? When are the fireflies out? Are there any small town festivals with farmers markets that are a must see too?
I spent my senior summer in Grinnell and loved the farmers market, swimming pools, etc. It isn't hot enough here to swim outside like that.
Thanks!

The Lake Okoboji area is really nice. The lightening bugs are typically out by June (ish).
