Priest Lake, Idaho

Priest Lake, Idaho

Indian Creek and Luby Bay

July 3-21st

We are home for a couple days after spending almost 3 weeks at one of the most AMAZING places on earth....Priest Lake.  It was so hard to leave, but we had so much laundry and Curt has to work for a couple of days before we head out to California.

Our favorite hike at Indian Creek was called the Viewpoint Trail.  We must have done it at least 5 times during the time that we were there.  It has a beautiful view of Priest Lake. 

Before we left, I got a great new game for my birthday from the Hammond family. 

National Park Monopoly...it was a huge hit.  It got the boys super excited to see more National Parks on our trip this summer.

For my birthday present from the boys, they used their own money to rent a canoe for the day.

We rowed to Eight Mile Island...and believe me it seemed 8 miles away...even though it was only a couple miles each way.  Curt did the most rowing of all.

When we were at Luby Bay, some of our best friends, the Hammonds came to visit for 3 days.

Yep...we all fit in the 5th wheel...which was a miracle in and of itself. 

We have a great time at the beach and especially playing pickleball at Hills Resort everyday.

Jordan was loving his new book...even reading in the dark with his head set.  So CUTE!!

We had a great time with the Tucker family too.  We have camped with them two years in a row...so fun!

They know tons of great hikes at Indian Creek...this one was to a pretty forest waterfall. 

They taught the boys how to play different card games...including EXTREME SPOONS!

Our next post will likely be from Santa Cruz, CA.  We will make our way down there this week, stopping in Bend, OR, Crater Lake National Park and to visit the McCaulife family.  We are excited about the next 6 weeks as our adventures continue. 

Packed and Ready!

 Heading out for 2 months....1st stop

Indian Creek, Priest Lake, Idaho

It is hard to believe that this is our last day home until the end of August.  We have a very full itenary and I will try and update when we have internet access.  We will spend the first 2 1/2 weeks at Priest Lake.  About 1 1/2 weeks at Indian Creek and 1 week at Luby Bay.  We just love that lake...it reminds me of the California beaches that I grew up going to in the summer. :)

It has been challenging to get organized to have a family stay at our house for the 2 months and our family ready to leave for 2 months.  My job this morning was to get 42 outfits together for the boys so we can go 2 weeks without having to do laundry.  The twins even had to do a draft pick to see who would get what outfits.  So it went from this....

To this...yes, everything fit into one very small closet in their room in the 5th wheel.  They are all numbered on the tags for easy laundry match up and tied with ribbons so that they stay together.  I am trying to avoid them taking out an outfit and having all 41 other outfits dump out.  We will see how it goes.

If you are in the Spokane area and are looking for a fun play to come for the day...give me a call.  

 We would love to have visitors for a day at the lake and smores at night!! Happy July to you all.
