On our first weekend off, we went camping at Bull Trout Lake. "We" included myself, Rob, and our good couple friends Leslie and Lucas and Amanda and Sam. In order to decrease the stress of camping (I now understand why, as a child, my family only went camping a couple times a year - it is hard work!) each couple was responsible for two meals so we could spend most of our time reading by the campfire, playing with the dogs in the water, or paddling around the lake in our scanoe (a canoe that doesn't tip).
This trip was extra special for us because I got to show Rob the incredible Sawtooth Mountains, just outside of Stanley. We really are so lucky to get to live in a place where mountains, lakes, streams, and rivers are a few hours away - Family, come and visit Idaho during the summer! It's awesome!

We explored and soaked in a few new hot springs:

Of course, our little guys were there the entire time, keeping us company (and warm at night).

We officially vow to do more things out of doors!
