Crane Prairie Reservoir

Eating some fuel before hitting the water. The boys had so much fun today just hanging out by the water.
After playing with sand toys, I took the boys out on the kayaks. Sawyer was with me and I pulled Canyon behind. I was so proud of Canyon for being so brave out on the water by himself in his own kayak.
Love it!!
I also enjoyed watching Canyon from afar try to balance himself on the surf board and paddle like the big kids.
I also had the chance to take the boys out on the motor boat and both Canyon and Sawyer got behind the wheel and drove the boat around the reservoir. It was an another amazing day!

Canyon Creek Meadows Hike

This hike has it all. Spectacular scenery... Snow... Lakes...
Did I mention views? Oh and super handsome boys...
Perfect picnic areas...
Places to filter your own ice cold water straight off the mountain...
Jumps!...
Wildflowers...
More wildflowers...
Streams and waterfalls and some not so pleasant mosquitos:(...
And exhausted boys. This is truly a beautiful hike but one we would not recommend without serious mosquito spray.

Weekend at the Lakes with Mom

We met some friends at Elk Lake on Saturday and enjoyed the warm sun on our backs! The only thing we were missing was daddy since he works on the weekend:( I am finding that my favorite thing in the whole world is to just sit back and watch the boys. Some of our friends on the relaxation station.
Beautiful view.
Taking a snack break!
Surfing!
Sunday we decided to check out Todd Lake and were surprised to see so much snow despite the 80 degree weather.
We were in search of bugs and sand but found mostly snow!
The boys had so much fun playing in the snow and scooping it up in their pails.
We had set off to do a loop around the lake but with all the snow we decided to play by the lake and had a great time.
We also decided right away that we would have wet shoes:)
Applesauce break!
Canyon practicing his camera skills
It was a great day!
