Crater Lake

The reunion is over, but we wanted to do a small little vacation with just our family, so we took a longer way home and stopped in Crater Lake on our way home.  Jon and the kids were really excited because they had never been there and I had been telling them how beautiful it was.  Unfortunately when we got there we didn't get to see much.  There had been wild fires all over, and it definitely affected our view of the lake.  When we were getting closer I thought maybe we would luck out because there were blue skies.  But once we got to the top it was just too smoky.  The kids enjoyed learning about it, and we had lunch, but we didn't stay too long.  Maybe we can take the kids back next year.

We stayed the night in Bend, OR and then headed home on Saturday.  We are home now and tired and exhausted, but we had such a wonderful time.  I love spending time with my family.
