We spent two days at Priest Lake that is located near the Canadian Idaho border in Northern Idaho. We drove over on Wednesday and after many failed attempts at finding an open campsite we finally found one in the Beaver Camp ground. I couldn't believe how full ALL the campsites were. We needed two sites, one for My parents and us and the other for Krissy's family. Krissy's family were able to stay in a campsite that was only available for the first night and then needed to move to a different site the next morning. My Dad, Jason and I walked over to an empty site and got there just as another man on a bike rode in. He jumped off his bike and said "Oh sorry I have this site." Really we both got there at the same time. I suggested that the only fair way to decide who got the site was "paper, rock, scissors." The man agreed and even had a little Japanese song that went with it. Random I know. Jason played the guy because he is far better at the game then I am. (I always end up changing the diaper). The first round was a draw, both scissors. The second round Jason WON!!! Talk about pressure. Now that we all had a campsite to stay in we headed off to the beach. The water was nice, the sand was white and the sun was warm. Perfect! The kids played all the rest of the day and only stopped for a quick lunch on the beach. We finally dragged them away as the sun was setting behind the trees.
This is my sand monster!

On the second day Jason, Brock, my Dad and Krissy's family took the canoes and paddled up to the upper lake and back. I stayed at the beach with the girls. Mikele decided after a short canoe ride on the first day that canoeing is boring because you just sit there looking around and she would much rather play in the water and in the sand. Mikele being the social butterfly that she is made friends with twin girls that were her age and they played most of the day.
Look, I even ventured out into the water.
Needless to say the kids did not want to come home and leave the beach behind.
Stay tuned for Part 3 - the final chapter.
