Cascade camp

Posted on | August 7, 2013 | 2 Comments

This summer, it's been good to us.  We've had a good mix of working and play time, and Hazel has been in some form of water whether it's a lake, river, pool, sprinkler pretty much every single day since June.  She's a true water baby.

At the end of July we visited a cascade lake for a quick camp and summer cool off!

   

Our view was simply amazing, & we were the only ones there.


Sweet girl fell down right after we arrived and skinned her chin!  Ow!



No editing needed...




The stars (see below) were incredible.  B & I stayed up late the first night playing trivia and talking, it was just what we needed.


The shot below is at midnight - that's the moon coming up to the left.




The next morning it was 80 degrees by 8 am, so we took a dip to try & escape the mosquitos!  Did I mention they were horrible?  They could care less about our citronella and lemongrass.



We actually moved camp a couple thousand feet less in elevation the following night, despite the killer view of our first site.  But when you look at your child and see eight mosquitos feasting on her face, it gets old quickly.
 
   

A nice river camp.




I hope all of you are getting out & enjoying this lovely little world of ours like we are.
