We took the first trip of the year. Headed up to Round Lake near Sandpoint. It was a super cool spot, close to home, but still not at home :) Small little lake with a sandy beach and a really nice campground. The weather was fantastic, perfect actually! We set up the trailer...
Then headed to the water... so nice. Since it is such a small lake, the water was already warming up, chilly still, but swim-able.
After a little time at the beach, we decided to go for a small hike. Apparently there is a walking trail that goes all the way around the lake, about 4.5 miles. We loaded Caleb in the stroller, we even took Rudy. It really was pretty, nice and shady, all the makings for a lovely evening...
Until, the mosquitoes found us.They were everywhere, and they were HUNGRY. We had never seen anything like it, it was like we were in a horror movie. There were swarms of mosquitoes, hundreds at a time. I have no pictures of them, because I couldn't stand still long enough to get the camera. We had to run the last mile back to our camp just to get away. It was incredible.
I took this picture of my arm, kind of gross really.
Both Mike and I look like this all over, Will and Caleb didn't get bit quite as bad, thank goodness.
Other than the rabid, mutant mosquitoes, the trip was very fun... we are ready to go again, as soon as I get the trailer cleaned and re-stocked and as soon as those damn mosquitoes die.
