MOUNTAIN GET AWAY-WARM LAKE



THE PIERCE FAMILY WAS IN CASCADE FOR A WEEKEND OF FUN AND I WAS INVITED TO JOIN.
FRESH AIR, MOUNTAIN BREEZE, AND A WONDERFUL FAMILY HOW COULD I RESIST. SO I PACK MY THINGS AND OFF I WENT

FINALLY ON THE ROAD
 
 
 
STARTING THE CLIMB UP HORSESHOE BEND
 
SOON HITTING ROAD CONSTRUCTION BUT IT WAS CLEAR SAILING
 
AWE PINE TREES HOW IVE MISSED YOU
 
WOOHOO GETTING CLOSER
 
 
ONCE I HAD ARRIVED WE SETTLED INTO CHATTING AND SOME DRINKING. SINCE THE PIERCE'S WHERE AT THE LAKE WITH FRIENDS, TESS AND I DECIDED TO HEAD OUT THERE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
 
CASCADE LAKE AT DUSK
 
 
 
WE SOON FOUND LAURA
 
MAKAYLA AND GABE FOUND THEIR AUNT TESS
 
 
DANNY HAD FOUND MY CAMERA AND BECAME PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE NIGHT.
 
 
THE NEXT DAY HAD A TRIP TO WARM LAKE PLANED. AS WE WAITED FOR THE PIERCE'S TO MEET US WE WHERE QUIT ENTERTAINED BY THE CAR PARADE MADE FROM THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION OF DOWNTOWN CASCADE.
 
 
THIS WAS A FAVORITE...CAMPER ON A FLATBED...TRAVEL IN STYLE
 
 
ONCE AT THE LAKE WE SETTLED IN FOR A YUMMY PICNIC
 
GABE AND UNCLE MATT
 
CLAIRE AND TESS GETTING PRETTY

THEN IT WAS SWIM TIME
 
PRETTY SURE CLAIRE WAS A FISH
 
HAPPY GIRL IN THE SUNSHINE
 
AND IT JUST WOULDN'T BE RIGHT WITHOUT A SELF-PORTRAIT
 
 
LAURA AND THE BOYS
 
AUNT CHERI GETTIN' HER TAN ON
 
UNCLE TOM
 
GABE SOON DECIDED TO CLIMB IN A BAG AND WHAT DID MAMA LAURA DO...
YEP THAT'S RIGHT, PICK HIM UP AND GIVE HIM A RIDE.
 
 
 
NEVER HEARD THAT KID GIGGLE SO MUCH!
 
 
 
 
CLAIRE PLAYN' IN THE SAND
 
 
 
 
 
IT WAS FINALLY TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO THE BEACH AND HEAD HOME
 
 
 
 
AUNT CHERI WAS A TROOPER TO DRIVE SO WE COULD ALL SLEEP
 
 
TESS AND CLAIRE WERE PASSED OUT RATHER QUICKLY
 
ONCE HOME WE REPACKED THE BAGS FOR THE WEEKEND WAS OVER AND TESS AND I HAD TO MAKE OUR WAY BACK DOWN TO THE VALLY.
 
GOODBYE MOUNTAINS
 
IT STARTED TO RAIN ONCE IN THE FLAT LAND BUT WAS OVER JUST AS SOON AS IT STARTED AND OUT CAME A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO END A GREAT WEEKEND.
