Mirror Lake

It's not very often we get a three day weekend.  But for the 24th of July weekend we went camping for three days at Mirror Lake.  Ashley, Jud and their kids came too and we shared a double trailer site.
 
 
Mirror Lake has a trail that goes around the entire perimeter.
 
The wildflowers were out in full force. 
 






The first evening, after our tin foil dinners, we made "camp cones" an idea Ashley and I had seen on Pinterest.  They were pretty good.  James and Logan enjoyed theirs.

Early the next morning, while the Mason's were still asleep, Dave and I took the kayaks out on the lake for some excellent fishing.






Brigham would start out the mornings nice and clean.  By evening we could barely make out that it was him under the layers of dirt, haha.  Luckily, Ashley could give him a bath in their trailer each night.


Dave and I went on our annual hike up Bald Mountain with its killer views.

We counted 30 lakes that we could see from the summit.



Ash and Jud get lots of stares when they go on bike rides around the campground.


We went on a hike with their family to Bonny Lake.













I love this picture of their family.






That evening we went out on the kayaks again.  You can see from this picture why it is called "Mirror Lake".









We paddled until the sun set.  This is the entire Mason fam enjoying the evening.


We tried another Pinterest camping item:  banana boats. They were delish.


We went out fishing in the kayaks early the next morning.




There is a fish in that net.


We sure had a great time and want to do it again next year.
