Lake Coeur d'Alene

I look forward to spending time at my parent's lake place on Coeur d'Alene every summer.  We usually spend the majority of our visit at the lake making trips to town as needed.  This summer we were lucky enough to spend a little over a week at the lake with my family and the weather was perfect!  We had one windy day, but other than that, not bad since the cabin is on Windy Bay!  The water needs to warm up a bit before too much swimming can take place, but we didn't mind.

Most of our days were spent like this - 
Wake up call from Camp
Snuggles in front of the window
Breakfast - usually something yummy like buttermilk pancakes with fresh strawberries & homemade syrup, pumpkin waffles or sticky buns.   
Morning - in and out of swimsuits, splashing around in the water, boat rides & tubing
Break for Lunch
Afternoon - repeat morning activities, trip to the candy store, & naps
Dinner
S'mores or Tillamook ice-cream
Bed

Not bad 
Counting down the days til next summer!

The cousins from oldest to youngest - 
Shawen, Mahalah, Burke, Croft, Tristan, Reagan & Mikaela. Camp & Annelise not pictured.

Mahalah has always been so great with our boys!  She loves spending time with them! 


 After one of our many trips to the Sun Up Bay candy store!  


 Just before an early morning boat ride with Uncle Scott


Sunday morning drive with Camp.  Can you believe he let a 1 year old drive?  

 Even more scary, handing it over to Reagan.  Who very quickly figured out the power of the 

 throttle!!! 

 Watch out!


 I mean really.  I told them I just needed a modest cabin overlooking the lake.  They didn't need to build a boat house & bring in the helicopter as well.  

My boys! 

 All rules are out the window when we're at the lake.  Camp gets his own can of soda! 



Did I mention, Reagan loves Baby Annelise? 

 Such a pretty little baby! 


 Time for S'mores! 



 Cheeeeeese!

& all the kids! 






and he missed the whole thing! 

Tubing with Mom! 



We made a bunch of star sugar cookies for the kids to decorate on the 4th.



Masterpiece!  Yummm!

Before we left Spokane we had just one last dinner together as a family at Jenny & Darin's house. 


Love you Mom! 

We are already looking forward to our visit next summer!
