On Saturday, a rare one with nothing scheduled, we wanted to spend the day as a family and decided to take a drive to Crater Lake. Our kids had never been there and it had been 20+ years since Chad and I had been to Crater Lake. It was cold (37 degrees at the lowest!) and cloudy and actually snowed a little bit while we were there but we still had fun exploring the area (mostly from the car) and checking out the lodge. I read stories to the kids in the car about the area and about Oregon from a book we bought in the lodge. It was fun to just visit and spend time together.
The water is so blue and we learned it is the deepest lake in the whole United States and the cleanest water in the world!
The Lodge is so pretty and cozy. We want to stay overnight someday!
I think the kids would tell you the best part of the day was stopping at Rice Hill on the drive home and getting yummy ice cream! They were so good to each other all day. Gabrielle did so awesome entertaining Genevieve in the car and we could hear Will and Cade giggling together in the back much of the drive.
