Thompson Family Reunion - Quick Hits

I'm sure there will be many more pictures to come when we get access to Kerry & Laurie's photos, but here are some quick hitters from the Thompson Reunion in Hayden, ID.

Crater Lake - The People

Despite temperatures in the upper 70's, there was plenty of snow leftover from the region's 44' of annual snowfall. The kids of course wanted to get in and have a snowball fight. Avery included. The sign, for the record, reads: DANGER Keep Off the Roof. We were nowhere near the roof, but good to know just in case.

VERY early in the hike (let's just say that the kids were amazing - well except Avery - but it was a hard hike). It was relatively short, but very steep - 1 mile with over 700feet of elevation drop.

A terrific view of most of the lake - Gabby's pouting because Cade wouldn't let her do bunny ears on him in an earlier photo.

On the boat tour. It was a tough tour - 2 hours in tight quarters at nap for Avery. Crystal tried every trick imaginable to keep Avery happy, but to little avail. I had a great time though and as you'll see, got some great photos.

Ahhh, the aftermath. If only she would have done this on the boat...

Avery is starting to walk around with her little walker. She'll be on her own before we know it.
