Lake Pend Oreille Idaho

This summer we are again heading to Montana but a different area of the state. On the way their we decided to take a couple days in Northern Idaho to celebrate Noah’s 14th birthday. We rented a floating house on Lake Pend Oreille. (Pronounced “Pondaray”).  The lake is one of the deepest in the US and is known for a US naval research center on the lake. The place where we stayed on the lake was Bayview which coincidentally right near the naval center.  

On Noah’s birthday we did some gifts in the morning.  Noah got his main gifts couple of days ago - a bass guitar.  Late morning we headed out to a swimming area called beaver bay in Farragut state park not far from where we stayed. 

After swimming we went and picked up food for dinner and a cake for Noah! Back at our place we took advantage of the warm weather and swam some more!  The lake was warm because Kelly even decided to take the plunge.
