Camping at Crater Lake

I thought our pictures would do the best job at summing up our camping trip. However, to sum it up in words I would say this:

Beautiful Blue Lake. Lots of yummy food. Lots of fun games. Lots of Mosquitoes. Great campfires. Great company. A little chilly. And snow.

To elaborate: My dad called the Crater Lake campground and warned us that the snow was very slow to melt this year. Because of this slow snow melt, the campsites were left wet, and therefore the Mosquitoe population was thriving. We were optimistic and packed extra bug-spray. Because of the snow they allowed guests to choose whichever site they wanted, so basically it was first come first serve. Some of the sites were so covered in snow that the table and fire-pit weren't even visible. Fortunately since Wes and I only had a 5 hour drive (as opposed to the 7 hour drive my family had) we got there just in time to nab a good spot. We found a nice big dry site with table and fire-pit! Yay! The bugs were a bit annoying, but we managed and it was totally worth it. All of Crater Lake was completely breathtaking. The walks and hikes we went on were gorgeous. The pictures I have are nothing compared to the great pictures we got on my Dad's nice camera. I will post those pictures to Facebook or the blog once I get my hands on them. We had such a great time.

Thank you to my family for driving all that way to camp with us in Oregon. Thank you for the great laughs, we loved it!
