Wright's Lake

This past weekend we took a trip to Wright's Lake. It was our first time being, and we lucked out with the perfect camp site. I made reservations online so there was no way of knowing what we were going to get, but our spot ended up being secluded, private, and totally beautiful. The kids had miles of open wilderness to explore, and they loved it. We couldn't hear or see any of our neighbors.

Here's Forrest in the kitchen frying up some bacon. Food always tastes so good when it's eaten outdoors!
The kids had a blast playing on the inflatables. Ashlee and Jacob actually took this raft all the way across the lake by themselves.
This is what our campsite opened up to: total wilderness. It was beautiful.
The classic roasting of marshmallows. It did get pretty chilly at night, making it hard to leave the warmth of the campfire and retire to the cold tent.
I had never seen so clear and beautiful a lake, and the backdrop was amazing. The water was the perfect swimming temperature.
The next day Forrest took the three oldest kids on a hike while the little girls and I stayed back at the campsite and took a nap. They hiked towards Desolation and came across this rocky plateau where they were able to get a 360 degree view of the wilderness. He said they went about 6 miles in all, which is why everyone came back to the camp famished and ready for dinner! That hike was probably the best part of the trip, though.
