Crater Lake

We got back from vacation about a week ago.  We drove down to California to see Matthew and my grandma's and stopped at lots of place along the way.  The first day we went to Crater Lake Oregon.  I love this lake!  We visited this area once before when Kanayla was about 4 months old and it was cool to see the changes.


The day we were at the lake was really hot.  According to park information, the average high temperature is 69 degrees in July.  We were well into the 90s!    It was kinda neat that we were high enough in elevation that even though it was really hot outside there was still snow on the ground.  Matthew and the kids enjoyed an impromptu snowfight.

The lake is a gorgeous blue color.  Kanayla and I liked learning more about how the lake was formed. She is very interested in science right now so the workings of a volcano were very interesting to her.  We found out after we left that they offer boat tours of the lake now and I can't wait to come back and do that some time.  It was quite the drive to get to the lake but well worth the extra effort!
