Crater Lake - Aug 2, 2104

Photos are not in order, but they're all from the same adventure, so good enough.  We had a day off with James and Grandma, so we decided to take the morning and hike to Crater Lake.  It took all day!
 
Grandma, Jessi, Lincoln and James - hiking selfie!

Huge salmonberries!  So yummy!  Lincoln ate them all up.  And I think we startled a bear in a sunny berry patch toward the top.  Glad he decided to leave the trail to us.

Lincoln's ready to hike - the backpack lasted for less than a quarter mile.  Lincoln hiked for awhile, but when we stopped to admire the view, he asked to get in the kid-pack.


James brought along his swim trunks - Lincoln just streaked.

Nap time caught up with Lincoln as we started our hike back down.

Swimming around the point to the rocky beach.


The little rocky beach - the tiny black rocks really do get warm in the sunshine.  Thankfully.

James is drying off, Lincoln is just enjoying the warm rocks.

Close-up family photo.


Linc and Grandma at the parking lot - ready to go on the hike.  I told you the pictures were out of order!
