Hidden Lake in June

Every summer we embark on our annual camping trip to Hidden Lake!  It is a highlight of the year and the memories are talked about for the entire year.  Hidden Lake is a beautiful camp ground in the mountains up near Skilak Lake.  We usually make one trip to Hidden Lake in a summer, but this year we decided to go in June as well as July.

So a couple weeks ago we loaded up our aging camp trailer with sleeping bags, tents (for the kids), backpacks of clothes, a couple small inflatable boats, bikes, and plenty of food!  As you can imagine the poor trailer was bulging and threatening to collapse on the drive up the road.  We love our trailer even though it has seen better days!  It began it's life some 35 years ago...but the price was right and we sure enjoy using it for our camping adventures.

My dad and mom came along to camp with us, and Omega Weisser also got to join in the fun.  It was a memorable weekend of spending time with grandparents for the kids.  Isn't it amazing when time is short with those you love, you value that time even more?  (Hard to believe we are moving to the Philippines in two shorts months.)

We had lots of fun riding bikes, playing a game of kickball, taking walks, playing on the water in the boats, and plenty of eating around the campfire!  Evenings are long as the sun never seems to set, but gives us plenty of time to laugh and play!
