This weekend was quite an adventure! We headed up to Redfish Lake near Stanley. It is absolutely beautiful up there! The lake is crystal clear and the Sawtooth mountains are stunning! However...we had no idea what was in store for us!
We spent all day Friday on the Lake. The kids played in the water and tried to catch fish. Unfortunately the fish were a little faster than they'd hoped. Nobody caught a fish...with a bucket anyway.
Brinley held true to form and was dying to get out there and go surfing. Even though the water was so cold (in the 50's) she was in and surfing before we could even get over to the beach area!
The water is this aqua blue color...and in a lot of parts of the lake you can see to the bottom! It was amazing!
We headed over to the beach to load up the kids on the tubes. They had a great time screaming and flying over the double up waves.
Ready to go!
My little pick Kylie spent most of the day on the beach. For a kid who gets cold in 76 degree water...this lake was definately going to be too cold for her. But I don't think she was suffering for fun...
What a ham!
Just look at those beautiful mountains! (And the little girl is pretty cute too I guess!)
We did head out for one Ladies Surf Session. What a blast!
Yeah...pretty cheesy. That's what happens with lack of sleep I guess! :)
Sunday we headed over to the fish hatchery. Redfish lake is known for it's Cutthroat Salmon (red fish). It was pretty cool to see the big fish jumping out of the river!
Being silly together...me and Brinley
Beautiful sunset....ahhh so pretty! After such a breathtaking sunset who knew we would wake up to..............
SNOW! Yuck! It rained ALL NIGHT Sunday and into Monday morning. By Monday morning, there was snow beginning to cover the ground. Just look at this poor boat. There is something very wrong about the way that looks.
Needless to say, we packed up in a hurry and headed out. But all in all it was a very, very fun trip. Lots of sun, laughs, good food, and friends.

NO WAY! That water looks way too cold! I am glad someone can enjoy cold surfing! :)
OK, do you not believe in email? I see you are an avid Facebook fan as well as a blogger. I guess I will have to learn about you through this computer world we live in. Please email me and tell me all about what you've been doing since Boise 1999. I must know. (angeedraper@yahoo.com) If you email me I might send you an invite to my blog. That's not much of an incentive, is it.
By the way, amazing photographer you are...
