One of our Christmas presents from Nate last year was a trip to Idaho! He had another training in Boise but decided to make it a 10 day+ adventure all around the state! I've been to parts of Idaho before, I was even born there, but I haven't really explored the state and seen all the beauties it has to offer! We set off for our big trip and five hours later made it to our first destination: Red Fish Lake!
We arrived at our camp sight at Red Fish Lake and set up camp. The kids were eager to feel the water and check out the lake right by where we are camping. Let's just say the water is freezing!
The next day we went for a short hike around our camp ground. The Lake was so beautiful!
Carder learned how to say 'take a picture of me' on this trip and every so often when he sees the camera he will say 'take a picture of me!' Such a cutie!
Ty does not pass up a rock to climb!
And Mara loves to climb also!
We had a yummy picnic lunch with this view in the backdrop!
There was still snow on the peaks but the weather was perfect! Not too hot, not too cold!
After lunch we rented boats and kayaks and explored Red Fish Lake. Ty was in a Kayak by himself. He had a great time rowing around the lake!
The rest of the family went on a paddle boat! It was so fun! Just ask Mara Lew! She loved it!
Carder tolerated riding on the boat, he hated the life jacket part and being confined to the boat! He wanted to jump into the lake!
Carder and his cool daddy! We went quite a ways out in the lake!
Somewhere in the middle of the lake Carder decided he had had enough and Mara really had to go potty! So we paddled over to our camp sight and Nate dropped us off and he took the boat back to the dock!
This is our camp sight right by the lake! The kids loved being so close and threw as many rocks in the water as they could!
It didn't take Carder long to fall asleep! After hiking, playing, throwing rocks, paddling the boat, he was exhausted and had a great nap in the tent!
The kids had a fun time playing near camp. They even made themselves a see-saw out of logs!
