Local Get Away Fun

Living so close to the mountains gives us an advantage to outdoor adventure. This little lake is tucked away off Hwy 88 on the way to Hope Valley. It truly is a beautiful place to stop and take in the fresh air and a walk around the lake. We've gotta remember to bring the kayaks next time we head out that way!

In contrast to the beautiful lake above, you can also find oddities like this off the same highway! We actually drove through this grove dodging the stumps like a life size maze.

This little lake was quite the adventure to get to. We definitely got custom branch striping on the way in and out (don't hang your arm out the window on this ride!) This lake is to the left of the "Short Grove" pictured above. The lake is fed by snow melt and since we are in late summer/early fall, it is really, really low. We couldn't walk on the banks because of the super mushy mud, we decided to climb the rocks instead.

While we were off on our adventure taking in nature and appreciating God's amazing creation, Charles was off playing with his friends...
