June Lake

My June Lake Adventure:
(sort of by Sage Douglas)

Mom had always told me about her most favorite place in the world and now she was finally going to take me there. We got the car all loaded (I'm not exactly a light packer) and set off on our grand adventure. I was soooooo excited......until I realized there was six more hours of this:The drive was a major bummer, but luckily I had my backseat buddy, Susie, to keep me entertained. Plus, we had some major stretch sessions to break up the monotony.

We finally made it to the cabin, which was covered in gold (thanks to the quaking Aspens). I was one "eager beaver" and couldn't wait to get out and do the nature thing!

It didn't take long for me to see what the hype was about as me and Mom looked out over the lake.(yeah... Mom is pretty awesome!)

Just when I thought life couldn't get any better, guess who showed up?!

SURPRISE!!!!

With Dad in the picture, we decided to do something a little more hardcore.

I got all set to go... ...Dad mapped out the course...
...and we were off to discover Parker Lake.


There were so many things I had never seen...
...like fresh water and smogless air.

I was so busy taking it all in that I didn't notice I lost my shoe......OOPS!!

I didn't want Mom to be mad at me, so I gave her the ol' cute face routine and all was forgiven.

Plus, Dad chose to walk around on floating logs and took a little dip in the lake, so me and Mom had a good laugh at his expense.
Eventually, Dad made it back to shore

and we made our way back home.

All that hiking and fresh airmade me hungry
and exhausted.

But as far as June Lake goes...
...I think I like it here!
