Jackie and I decided to go for a bike ride adventure. They had some cool bike trails at Diamond Lake.........

We found this little pond area, well, they called it a Lake, but it looked more like a big pond. You can't see it well in the picture, but those white looking things are all dragonflies.

Surprisingly, there weren't any skeeters at this place.

There were frogs everywhere though, I was afraid I was going to step on some. Jackie caught this little cutie so we could take a picture.

I love these butterflies, they were everywhere.

This bridge was another path. The water was FREEZING!!!

Crater Lake

Crater Lake was only about 20 minutes from our camp, so we decided to go see it. I had never been there before. It was AMAZING! I have seen a lot of beautiful things in my life, but Crater Lake was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I would love to just sit there and stare at that Lake for hours. We stopped at the first lookout area, and then we headed up to the lodge. The drive up there was a bit scarey because the drop off was right there, my mom was driving behind us, and I imagined hour scared she was, she is really afraid of heights. When we arrived at the lodge, she said she was pretty freaked out, poor mom. It was weird too, seeing snow in August. These pictures are great, but they don't capture the awe I felt when looking at that beautiful lake...........
