Fun In The Sun - Cultus Lake 2008


Another year comes around when we find ourselves planning meals, buying new flashlights and working on our tans so we won't look completely white in our bathing suits. Our yearly camping trip to our beloved Cultus Lake is something that our entire family looks forward to all year long. The gorgeous lake, spacious campsites, and "usually" sunny weather brings us back year after year. In fact my Dad figured that we have been to Cultus 25 out of my 30 years. I hope that my son can say that when he is 30. Right now I think that he would stay out there all year around if he could. Here are some of our fun times from 2008. Enjoy!!








My Comfy Bed



Texas Hold 'Em in the game tent. A Man's game!!!

Always having fun with Cousin Dylan

Even little girls like to be pretty. Mikella getting her nails painted by Grandma.

Steve spent a fair amount of time checking in on his meat shop back home. There are only a few places on the beach that you can get a call out and this was Steve's lucky spot for most of the week.

As children we've spent hours sitting quietly waiting to capture a little chipmunk or hungry bird. Here Cousin Josh is holding a string that is attached to a stick holding up a box. When a little friend comes to eat the food under the box he will pull the string and trap it.

And finally they catch one!



It has been a tradition to take silhouette pictures at sunset over the lake. I have pictures of myself as young as five or six doing this same thing.

Okay, I have to ask,"What is Tyler doing in the first picture?" What a nut. It looks like a gorgeous place to camp. Glad you guys were able to make it over there this year.
