Lake Wenatchee

Sunday afternoon Todd couldn't wait any longer to get on the water.  The sun was shining, and the temps were in the 40s.  It was a beautiful day to be out.  Once again I went with him to drop his truck off at the Tumwater Campground and then took Todd up to Lake Wenatchee in Plain.  This time, however, I brought all the kids with me.

What we didn't realize until we got up to the lake was that there was a nice breeze blowing.  I am sure the wind chill was near the 30s or lower. 

Isn't the water just beautiful.  Not that brown, chocolate stuff we swam in down south. Here it is crystal clear all year long.  You don't realize how deep the water is because you can see the bottom, but it can be 20 to 30 feet deep.

In the background is Dirty Face Mountain.  The rocks on the right are where all the kids went.  They have a fort that they are building back there.  It is pretty cool.  In summer we will come up here to swim.  Just like in North Carolina, the home school moms congregate here once a week to visit and play.  My kids love it here.

It took Todd three and a half hours to make the trip from the Lake to the canyon.  He was pretty frozen when he got home due to the wind.  Of course, that won't stop him from doing it again.
