Hidden Lake Camping

Next we went camping at Hidden Lake....don't worry, we found it. It's a great place for the kids to climb the mountains right at our campsite, ride their bikes, take the pontoon boats in the lake, or swim in the lake if it's warm enough...which it wasn't. We are also close enough for the boys to go fishing on the Kenai or Russian for part of the day...the real reason we camp here.

Making smores

I'm not sure what is going on in this picture my dad took, but the expressions on their faces are hilarious.

The ever glowing campfire with some guitar & singing.There were some older boys riding their bikes down the boat launch into the water. Asher was nearby watching them ever so closely when I looked at my dad and said, 'do you think Asher is thinking what I think he's thinking?' So my dad says, 'hey Asher, where is your bike?' And that is all it took. Next thing you know Asher is at the top of the launch about to ride straight into the water. We stopped him just in time and got David to be the lifeguard/supervisor. Asher had a blast being like the big boys.

My dad wanted to float down the Kenai while he was here, so David took him on the pontoon boats while we were camping. They had a great relaxing time and my dad caught a nice picture of an eagle on the river.
