June Lake Loop in June

Our new, and dear friends the Gregory's (Angela, Jason, Grace & Leah) invited us to join them on their annual trip to Silver Lake (part of the June Lake loop just north of Mammoth, CA).  We fished, hiked, ate, drank, and had a rockin' good time.  The girls acted more like sisters at times, but had so much fun. They all loved holding Silas and we, the adults, loved watching every second.  
We're dying to know what Harper was saying to Grace.

Jason went to college with Jake (not pictured) and Jake's family has been coming to Silver Lake for 30+ years.  The Gregory's have been coming with them for the past 8.  They go Father's Day weekend every year and have a group dinner on Father's day.  Here are all the father's and their children.  Jake's entire family and other friends were so warm and welcoming, we felt like we'd been going for years, too.  :)

Breakfast time
The water at the lake was so low, that a sandbar was revealed, so we set up camp so the kids could play and we took turns going out on the boat to fish.  Win, win for all!  Heather, Grace, Reid & Harper playing in the sand.
