Packsaddle Lake

Mikey and I are trying to pack as many outdoor adventures as we can into our 7 week break from school. He is done with his classes and doing his internship (which means no homework!) and I'll be starting my last semester of classes in the fall. 

Which means it's our last chance, since it's probably our last summer in beautiful Idaho, to do all the fun things here.

At least in this area of Idaho anyways. 

Our adventure this weekend was Packsaddle Lake. 

It's outside of Driggs, Idaho. 

It was the perfect day. 

Packsaddle Lake

It was a little rainy, with some thunder and lightening but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. 

Bad Mom moment: 

I forgot to pack a jacket for Mabes so he got to wear one of our hoodies. 

Looked pretty stinkin' cute. 

It only rained for a few minutes, it was actually very refreshing because it was a HOT day.

And I love the smell of rain in the mountains. 

MMMMM.

Mabes looks a little grumpy in this shot but he was loving the rain and he loves looking at trees. 

It's a little, ity bity hike to the lake.

 Mikey enjoyed swimming in the "cold" water but I had to hold Mabes. 

Darn. 

(It's so nice using him as an excuse when I don't wanna do things ;)

After our time at the lake we drove up to Badger Creek, Mikey had never been there before. 

It's so beautiful. 

Being in nature is such a testimony strengthener to me. 

Heavenly Father really does love us.
