FAMILY OUTING l ECHO SUMMIT

>>Taking time out for ourselves can sometimes feel impossible with our long list of home projects or even simply keeping up with the cleaning, and stepping out of the whirlwind of "to-do's" sometimes is just necessary. So on Thursday evening it was decided then, we would take up to the mountains. In the present version of our lives this requires some sorting and folding and at least 10 bags for our 3 dogs and baby. I went grocery shopping with the poohbah and prepped a few meals. Ben packed up the Suby. And we were on our way to memories in the making.

We had a wonderful trip. We watched the sun sink down behind the ridge. We took a hike to echo lake and watched the water taxi taking tourists to the other side of the lake. We were going to meet aunty in South Lake for an ice cream cone but baby fell asleep and Aunty had to get home. So we scurried down to Lyra's after dinner and got our own ice cream! We fished and took in the fresh beautiful mountain air. And snuggled into the little cabin at night. Our hearts are full and ready for the next week!
