We just completed our annual close family friends trip with the Booth, Bronson and Curtis families. Unlike recent years past, this year we actually did rough it and decided to spend the weekend camping at Diamond Lake. Having grown up spending countless weekends during both the winter and summer months in the area to camp, fish, water ski and snowmobile, I was excited to share the location with friends. I must admit that going into the weekend I was a bit anxious about everyone having a good time; thankfully those worries were unfounded! The bugs can be annoying but were completely tolerable. My biggest concern was the potential for thunderstorms. We had one that started rumbling over the lake but it blew over quickly...phew!

We enjoyed a day outing to Crater Lake National Park, a special location for our family since it's where my dear hubby proposed 6 1/2 years ago (he won points for choosing one of my favorite spots in the world!)
Unfortunately I neglected to get the group picture that I'd fully intended to take. The kiddos stole the show with the camera. It was such a blessing to watch them having so much fun together throughout the weekend: the giggling, chasing, rock skipping, bike riding and playing never stopped! The adults agreed that camping is something we want to keep doing with the kiddos as they grow because the memories will be invaluable.

Great pictures!!!
Have you guys ever camped at Lake Billy Chinook? Even though it is so close we never go there. That might be a fun spot next year too.
