We love little crater campground on Paulina lake. We have been going to this area for years now and the kids know how to get around on their own because its so familiar. This year we will camp there 3 times! Our annual family trip is always late august but Kelly picked up a great site that just happened to be open in June and we will go again in September with a few other families we know.
As is typical in the mountains the weather can change dramatically. While cooler than Bend since we are up high, the weather on Friday (June 26) on arrival was in the mid 80's! By our departure Sunday June 28, we had snow flurries:) The fun of the mountains! Jasper Lovejoy came with us this weekend as Hunter was camping with Jack Lovejoy.
Pictures from the first day. (note the green color in the lake is pine pollen washing up on shore)
Abbie practicing starting a fire with a ferro rod.
Noah and Jasper riding bikes into the lake at dusk.
Saturday after a breakfast of egg bites in the Dutch oven, I took Abbie, Jasper and Noah up to the lake overlook hike. PJ stayed back to hang with Kelly.
Sunday unfortunately was not nice to wake up to, so after trying to keep warm with a mornings fire we packed up and headed out as it started to snow.
