Wallowa Lake

We had a fun weekend camping at Wallowa Lake.  We headed out after Nate got off work Friday and got a little worried when we ran into this storm.

The hail was hitting the van so hard that we thought it was going to crack the windshield.  We pulled over for a few minutes until it passed. What is funny is the Johnson Family was about 10 minutes in front of us and they missed it!  They had about four raindrops is all.  :) We saw many elk, deer and buffalo on the way.  

 

 By the time we got to Wallowa Lake, it was dark.  We set up camp and then had a campfire.  Our kids have never slept so well or and gone to bed as well as they did on this camping trip.  The down side was Nate and I never slept so bad.  It was so hard and uncomfortable.  We are getting too old for this tent camping stuff. :)  

 Ayva and Emma.  Check out the crossed legs. :)

It has been seven years since our last camping trip together!

The next morning was a nice relaxed breakfast and then we went to the Lake for the day.  The kids had a blast playing in the streams, lake, making boats out of wood and much more.  We finished the evening off by going into Joseph.  Nate wanted to tour Stein Distillary.  So yes, we took all six kids to the distillery for tasting. :) And we got compliments on how good our children were. We then went out to dinner with a bunch of bikers.  :) There was some motorcycle thing going on this weekend.

Charlie decided to put his head down for the photo because he wanted a picture of his helmet.  Coop didn't want in the photo.

 This one was in the campsite next to us.

 Check out that look!

 Morning snuggles.

We finished our camping trip with some miniature golfing.

 Thanks for a fun weekend Johnson Family.  And a big thanks to Carly for watching Yeags for us and Becky for dropping off our Bountiful Basket. 

Now our last week of nothing before Megan starts back at school a week from tomorrow.
