Sunny Fall Weekend at the Cabin with Friends

We had a restorative and invigorating weekend with friends out in Plain. It was 75 and sunny and the fall color was stunning. Our Saturday hike was to Lanham Lake near the Stevens Pass Nordic Center. The hike was just right for the kids and through some nice woods. The lake itself was so low it was stagnant and didn't have good beach access, so we hung on the logs. 

After lunch we met at Lake Wenatchee for an afternoon of water play. I can't believe this was October! Definitely appreciated every second of sunshine we were able to soak up.

The kids took the floats all the way to the island - very impressive!

 We had a really awesome campfire Saturday night and the kids had epic hide and seek battles in the woods. After packing up and cleaning, we drove to Barclay Lake near Baring and did a hike Sunday morning, too.

It was foggy and cool, so we probably should have hiked east of the mountains, but Barclay Lake had its own mystique and we even got to see a wedding happening at the far end. It was 2 miles and pretty flat - so a great one for the kids. Plus, it was beautiful. Must do again!
