Annual trip to Crater Lake...I believe this is the 6th year we 've done this. We began our first Mother's Day with Sophie, 2006!
Hard to say what kind of weather we will have up there!
The blue/white contrast was awesome!
Lovin' this day, with my kiddos that are in the area, (one never knows what will change as they grow older and move on!) and God's beautiful creation!
That-a-girl, Jennifer...SMILE....it won't feel so COLD!
Levi just had ear surgery, so we kept it well protected!
Nathan might be taking off here soon...
FLAPS UP!
Travis, very manly....he didn't bring a coat cause he's a tough guy.
Then still secure in his manliness, borrows his wife's coat!
Here comes the snow!
Amie...munching on her Subway.
Our makeshift lunch shelter!
Wow Jon....that is one furry hat and you are a brave soul!
That's all I have to say!
He's not really as pit bullish about his food as he looks!
Snack pudding has become one of the traditions.
These two...Amie and Nathan were puddle pals....always on the lookout for the next SPLASH!
William with the closed lodge in the background.
PUDDLE!
Following Travis! Hmmm....
Yeah, look at that finger, pointing them back!
Two tough guys and a "thith-ter"
MORE PUDDLES!
What a lot of children! And they are not ALL here!
I am a blessed Mama.....9 in all = }
(7 + 2 daughters in law)
And one crazy.....fun loving' man! Life would be boring without you!
Lindsey and Jon
Travis and Jennifer
Jason and Sarah
Emma, Nathan, William
Travis' little hat show
First there was Amie's, and it was too bearish!
Then there was Jordan's, and it was too suave-ish!
Jon's was too......hmmm...can't think.....
And Jennifers's....was just right!
Leaving Crater Lake engulfed in clouds!
