Sunday after church we then got everything loaded up to head up to Hazard Lake. Stan and Diane rented a small RV and we set up a tent at our favorite spot at Hazard. We spent Sunday afternoon setting up camp and then drove to some random place to do some shooting. The kids had the best time shooting and did great. When we got back to camp we cooked up a super yummy steak dinner over the fire and then roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. We all slept good enough and woke up early to a thunderstorm, luckily we had put the rain tarp on, we all eventually fell back asleep and woke back up once the storm was over. After some egg and sausage breakfast burritos we loaded our hiking bags into the truck and headed to the trail head. We hiked into Lava Butte Lakes with Stan. It was a fairly short hike, about 5 miles round trip, but it was beautiful. It was a little bit different scenery than usual but all the lava rocks were really beautiful. When we got back to camp we went out onto lake with the paddleboard. The kids and Craig jumped into the lake and we all cleaned off the best we could. The kids spent the rest of the afternoon building forts, climbing rocks and getting dirty. McKay was living his best life. Stan and Diane out did themselves with a full dutch oven dinner and cobbler. I ate until I was way to full, but it was all just so good. We all slept pretty well that night and woke up Tuesday morning and cleaned up camp and headed back to the cabin to unload what needed to be left there and to take a shower before heading back home. We had such a great time but two nights was definitely enough for me. It is always nice going with Stan and Diane because they do about 90% of the work and have all the equipment that we don't have. It makes it a lot simpler and enjoyable to do the camping thing. Camping is always a great way to create memories and a lot of fun ones were made this weekend.
