June 2012

With the kids out of school by June 1, we had a free month in June and took advantage of the time for some swimming lessons and some camping. We have a tennis club nearby that offers wonderful swimming lessons to the general public - an outdoor pool, great instructors, small classes, and a place for Mommy to sit nearby and watch. After the two-week class, Rachel and Carson both advanced to the next level!





At the end of June we ventured up to Idaho to try a camping spot near Ketchum. Pete & Jen met us for the weekend which made it even more fun.




We even did a hike together! Rachel and Carson are getting to be very good hikers. There was a sign-in book at the trailhead and Rachel was the one to sign us in.





After Ketchum we headed north to check out Red Fish Lake, a gorgeous lake which surpassed our expectations. Beautiful clear water, large sandy beaches, boat rentals and docks everywhere, and snow-capped mountains in the distance. Imagine finding a beach in Idaho!


Surrounding Red Fish Lake are pine forests, running rivers, and some amazing hiking trails. What a beautiful spot.




Wishing puffs - make a wish!
