Hume Lake

Well, we had a great time a Hume Lake this year (August 3-12). It was super special as it was our first time as a married couple so we had our very own campsite.

Here are a few pictures:



We went up to Buck Rock to check out the view one day. The view from the top was incredible.



Jeremiah went on the infamous "Death Hike" with his brother and some of our friends. (They are trying to find a path down to this river where there is supposed to be amazing fishing. They have tried numerous times but have yet to find it. The hike starts really early in the morning with a long drive, then they hike for hours and eventually make it back to camp late at night. I'm typically a nervous reck the whole time they are gone because they are out in the middle of nowhere and it something were to happen to them...well, I try not to think about that.)

We had great times at the Cove playing in the water and on The Log. I even swam across the lake this year both ways. It was a struggle as I haven't swam that much at one time since I was on the Swim Team back in High School, but I was proud of myself for doing it (my fear of little creatures in the lake didn't help either).

This year was also really special as it may be the last one for a few years that Josh and Mandi will be with us as they will be going off somewhere with the Navy. But hopefully it won't be too many trips that they aren't around for; it just won't be the same without them.

Josh, of course, made one of the biggest fires you could possibly imagine. We all were at leat 10-15 feet away from the pit and were plenty warm.

We also learned some new dice games complimentary of Ruth and Tim. Those were so much fun and we plan on sharing them with friends and family back home.

This trip was a much needed vacation and we are already looking forward to next year. And my parents are planning on coming next year so that will make it even more fun.

Here's to another fun adventure in the book!
