Wallowa Lake

Last but not least, our final camping trip... Wallowa Lake. It was gorgeous and barrels of fun! We went with 2 of our good friends, the Albistons and the Biehls.
Sadly it rained days one and two, but after that it was beautiful!
We made lots of friends with the wildlife. The deer just roam carefree through the campground. They don't seem to be bothered by much. Although, I'd have to say that they are not super keen on Mikes BB gun. Yes he couldn't resist the temptation of shooting a few in the bum! Well there were no raccoons so he and Eric had nothing better to do...
The chipmunks were a bit on the friendly side as well. Jake found himself with one on his shoulder. It scared him at first but then Jake spent the next hour trying to get one to climb up again, he's so funny. They would eat right out of your hand and they weren't afraid of anything.
One day we went to the top of the mountain, via the Gondola! It was a little rickety but happy to say we made it up and back down without incident! Well minus the giant hole it left in Mikes wallet (yeah a little spendy for a family of 6). But it was fun!
It was a good trip, as always when your in good company :)!
