Trillium Lake.

At the beginning of the summer during a Family Home Evening we made a list of all of things we wanted to this summer while Brian was home for 3 months.  We called it our Harris Family Fun List and we have loved checking things off of it.  One things on the list was Trillium Lake.  It is near Mt. Hood, and as you can see from the pictures, it was amazing!  It was a beautiful and warm day and even though there were plenty of people there, mostly it felt like we were the only ones there.  

The girls loved going out on this blowup boat with Brian.  I stayed back with Georgia, who slept for at least half the time we were there.

Can you believe that mountain and it’s reflection in the water?!  Some day I want to go up early in the morning on a still day and see it reflected perfectly in the water.

I lost track of how often Elna jumped off this rock.  She’s such a water girl and she’s brave!  When she wasn’t jumping she was swimming.

Or trying to warm up.

When we first got to Trillium Lake and we were looking for a place to set up for the day, we came across my midwife (one of my favorite people ever!) with some of her friends.  They were picnicking just a few spots down from us, and then later she went kayaking.  She is wonderful!  I miss her when I’m not pregnant!  (also, this is the only picture that shows other people that were at the lake.  This was just one side of the lake! But like I said before, it didn’t feel at all crowded)

The water was surprisingly not too cold.  Even I went swimming!

It was a perfect day!  I want to go back again and again!
