Crater Lake!

The fam and I decided to take a trip to Crater Lake a couple of weeks ago. It was a fun, weird, scary trip! LOL! We have this GPS system for the car, and we decided to give it a go. It took us straight from Canyonville to Crater Lake. Yep, straight across the map! Well, some of those roads are not meant for cars! It may have been 1/3 of the mileage, but it took twice as long! At times I was scared we would be trapped in the woods! LOL! My husband was as cool as a cucumber. He thought my fear was quite ridiculous! :D Anyway, we made it safe and sound! The kids had never been there before. Ted and I went once before, about 11 years ago. I couldn't believe how snowy it still was! You would have thought it was December, not June! LOL! I took tons of pics, and tried to narrow it down to a few. I still have too many, but oh well! You will have to deal! :P

Here are a couple of nice shots I got of Jackson Creek on the way.

Ted got some cute pics of the kiddos. Ted squatted down to take their pic, and then they squatted down too. What a bunch of nerds!! LOL!!

Dylan took a pic of Ted, but we never did get a pic of me. We tried to take a group self-portrait. That failed miserably!! Here are 2 of the attempts...too funny!! LOL!!

Last, but not least....we have pics of Crater Lake! LOL! Only a couple, I filled the post with pics of people! :P Look how high the snow is on the side of the road!! Holy cow!!

She did it!!

As you can probably tell, it is officially swimming weather!! We have had the pool ready since the last week in May. Not only have my babies been swimming, but so have many of their friends!! It has been so much fun! Now, today was a special day. As many of you know, I have been watching Bentlee since she was a month old. (Holy Cow!! Almost 3 years already!!) We had our pool before she came around. I have never been able to get that child to swim in the pool. She has gotten in about 3 times. Each time was a nightmare! Screaming, scratching, you name it! Poor little booger was terrified!! This Spring she started commenting on getting in the big pool. I was skeptical! LOL!! Well, today we tried it!! The first 10 minutes were reminiscent of years past, but wait!! My husband, B's favorite Ted, was able to get her to have fun! I couldn't believe it. She actually laughed and played for over an hour!! It was so cute! She kept saying "I play in pool with Ashy & Bubba!!". So cute!! I managed to snap a couple of pics of the kiddos. I hope you enjoy her happy little face as much as we did!! :)
