Happy Father's Day!

For Father's Day this year, we decided to hike into a little lake called Blue Lake.  The trailhead only takes about an hour and a half to drive to.  Too bad that when we got there, this is what we saw...
 Snow!  And lots of it!
 So we went with plan B, and drove to the summit.


 This was a small snowbank...spring is coming late to the mountains of Idaho!
 This is the view toward Cascade and the Payetter River.

 At the top, it was a chilly 54 degrees in the afternoon.  At the bottom, it was a lovely 76 degrees.  We even spotted some spring flowers.

 And mushrooms!
 Clara loved every moment (besides being stuck in her carseat).

She is so full of wonder...
 every piece of dirt, rock, and stick was incredible in her eyes!
 Here she is spotting her Daddy walking down the road toward her!  She just loves him!


 This turned out to be a great Father's Day photo!
 She loved stepping in and out of this small hole.  Weird to me, awesome to her!

 Then we drove back down to the river and fished for a bit.  No luck!

 I love this picture of the two of them!






 Later that evening, we headed to Jeff and Janet's for dinner.  I tried to get a shot of the three generations of Brooks men/girl.  Clara wasn't in the mood for a picture, but I managed to get a couple cute ones anyway!

Happy Father's Day Kurtis, Jeff, and Dad (Paul)!
