Pineview with the kiddo's

I love Pineview. I grew up going there all the time with my family and now, even though the experience if a different one my kids have the same kind of love for the lake as I have. We drive up the mountain and ohh and ahh at the beauty that surrounds us and then when we come up over the hill and look down and see the lake the same excitement fills the air that use to when I was little. We have so much fun playing in the water and escaping the dreaded summer heat.


When we first got there I of course went and showed the kids where the suburban drowned. That is one of my all time favorite stories. Then we headed to the beach. All the kids help get things set up we eat lunch and swim, explore, swim, layout, swim, eat, swim, play, swim and love life.

"Boo, run the sand is flippin' hot!"

cute girlie's on a tube. Shaela, Emma's friend came with us.

Just being goofy

Boo can't figure out how to smile with the sun out.

The Fellas JJ brough his friend Kaden

I love this pic.

Even more I love that our tube is floating away in the background

Ellie spent a good hour just like this. I had to keep getting her and bringing her back into the water.

We had our fun and headed home. On our way home we had told JJ that he could run up a hill on the mountain side. When we passed his hill he was over it, but Emma wanted to try one a ways down so we pulled over and the kiddo's ran up the hillside...even JJ. It was absolutely beautiful. It reminded me of the sound of music. I almost broke out in "The Hills are Alive.."
