Camping at Clear Lake

 We had our first camping trip of the season at Clear Lake on Mt. Hood.  Lots of sunshine, refreshing water, and good times.  Our new 'boat'  had it's maiden voyage. 
 We  were also joined by our friends, The McMullens, for our annual camping trip together.  A big milestone this year was that all 4 boys slept together in their own tent.  It was hot, stinky, and they were pretty much on top of each other due to limited space.....but they loved it!
 The beach was filled with baby newts.  They were so cute, and the boys couldn't keep their hands off of them.  They would cluster together under rocks to get shade. They look like baby dinosaurs.
 Clear Lake.  Yes, the water was clear and refreshing. 
 Dinner the first night, by our very own Nate Moore.
Not the best quality of a photo, but I had to show how this boy eating  his spaghetti.  Nate made this batch all by himself...browned the meat, sliced the olives,opened cans, etc...The secret to his recipe is that he added 4 garlic cubes (compared to my recommended 3), and he added olives.  It was delish!
