Lake Almanor, I Heart You

We just got back from camping and I miss it already. We had such a great time. As usual, we went with my family, aunts, uncles, cousins and close family friends. There is nothing like it for me. If I could pick my perfect day it would be at the lake. I just love it. I really cant say enough about it.

Mick, not loving his new life jacket, but got used to it.


First tube ride.

First time we took the SUPs to the lake, a new must. So great. Perfect to take out.

We always heading to the water early. Even though he woke up earlier than normal each morning he still slept way better than I thought he would.

Home Sweet Home. I know what you are thinking, no this tent is not bigger than our house.

Love you too Uncle Adam.

More to come about these two love birds...

Auntie Alyssa is so fun to be around.

Oh where to begin...we usually like to try new things up at the lake. We have all tried the short boards behind the boat but since the SUP came along this year we didnt want it to feel left out. And since it is so big we didnt want one person to feel all alone. Adam and Kevin successfully rode it behind the boat. Pretty impressive. Toes to the nose.

Kevin, wishing he had a partner.

Tummy time came on the cot. Thanks ASab.

Sorry, a little out of order. This was their first attempt.

Ok, here we go. Get on the boat, the Banana Boat. This was so intense! Yes, it is as crazy as it looks.

We love you Mimi.

Aunt Cha Cha and Alyssa.

Papa (my dad), Adam, Johnny (cousin), Bobby (cousin), and Uncle John.

Auntie April (ASab) loves her some Mick.

No caption needed.

First time on the SUP.

I am pretty sure Mick was trying to wave.

Best thing ever! If you are ever going camping with small children and want to give them a bath, get this duck. My mom found it on Amazon. It was awesome. At night it was a bath and during the day it was a pool.

Every year we get milkshakes in town. And every year we croud the place. And every year I feel so bad for the two or three girls that are working.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

The lake would not hold the place it does in my heart if it were not for these people.
