Sun Lakes 2011

We started our summer with a vacation initially planned around Kylie (it was cheap and they allowed dogs) and we went to Sun Lakes in Eastern Washington. I had gone to Sun Lakes when I was a kid for a couple summers in a row with my mom and family so I had fond memories of this place. While the cabin was super small and full of bugs and spiders, we had a great time. Each day we played put put golf (or pup pup as Owen called it), had ice cream to combat the heat (it was in the 90s both full days we were there), swam in the super cold lake and pool each day, and watch movies. We went to visit the Grand Coulee Dam and Dry Falls to break up the days. Overall, it was a fun trip and while we kept talking about how Kylie would have enjoyed this and that, it was still great!


The last night a wind storm came through the canyon and had gusts of very powerful wind! It was fun to stand in, although it scared the kids a bit. And we found out that that the door didn't actually ever lock...the wind blew it open! Scary!


The kids and daddy at the look out on Dry Falls. It was pretty fun for them and a beautiful geological creation!

Paddle boating on the lake, it was hot on the lake and difficult to paddle. We took turns!
