Priest Lake

We traveled to Priest Lake, ID for a Merhar family reunion. Priest Lake is in the Northern pan-handle of Idaho. To break up the long drive, we spent a night in the tricities with Grandma & Grandpa M.  Then we enjoyed 3 nights of camping at the Beaver Creek campsite on Priest Lake, enjoying the sun, family time and outdoor adventures. There were about 30 Merhar family and friends from all over the Pacific Northwest and US.

I have to admit I was a little nervous about camping with a 16-month old, but it was so much fun!  The little guy loves the outdoors and had such a fun time exploring, and pointing out everything that is HOT (which is a lot of stuff when you're camping).  We were very appreciative to Mike & Heidi (Eric's Uncle & Aunt) for planning such a fun reunion.  Here's the run-down:

On the Road Again.  Lots of driving, but we managed pretty well.

Fun times on Heidi & Mike's boat.  I tried wake boarding for the first time, and absolutely loved it! Eric showed off on the slalom ski and wake board. He's pretty awesome. Aunt Heidi had the magic touch with Isaac on the boat, who wasn't so sure about the confining life jacket and wind in his face (can you blame him?).
