Making Memories

Here in Susanville we do not have a ton of "activity" type things to do. There isn't even a swimming pool here in town. That made me sad.... I heard that they are in the process of making one, that will be great! At least there are parks that we can go too.  

Luckily where we live we have such a huge variety of outdoor activities that we can do. So we are making memories where we are planted.  Things are so close that we get to take Saturdays and just play.  We have been able to visit many places.

First we visited Lassen Volcanic National Forest. The little we saw was awesome. We got to see the stinky pots. That just about freaked Camilla out. She was afraid it was going to bubble up and get her, so she would not get near it!!! What a funny girl, gotta love her!
 

Labor day weekend we decided to visit one of the many lakes that are only 30 minutes away! This on is Eagle Lake...Mike loved it at first name. It was such a beautiful lake! It was very clear that the lake was very low, but we still had fun. We had the beach to ourselves and it was great. Well we did have one visitor that stayed close by, that little bird at the end of the pictures.  

Our little ones really seemed to love the lake. Brody went right on in and Camilla was a little leery about it but then start having fun in the shallow water and even started splashing around on her stomach. Deklin loved the dirt, mud and rocks. He was fine walking around the water. 

One of the following weekends one of Mike's coworkers showed us a great family friendly hike and it was great. It was one that Brody and Camilla both could hike the entire time and easy enough for Mike to carry Deklin on his back. It ended up at a helipad with gorgeous views!!! Here are some of the pictures. Please pay attention to Camilla and her amazing outfit, she was so excited about it.

We also visited Burney Falls which is gorgeous!!!

It ended up being a little chilly when we visited, but it was still beautiful and fun.  It was a paved path from the top down to the bottom and an easy walk. There are other hikes that go all around the falls, but the little ones were a little cold. It was probably good we left when we did, because it began down pouring soon after we left! We still had fun...

We are having so much fun exploring and making new memories. We really live in a beautiful world!! We are so grateful that we were able to move to a place with mountains and hiking!!!
