Shaver Lake

We had an absolute blast camping at Shaver Lake last weekend.  The days were warm, the nights were cold, the lake was clear, and the company was perfect.
 Our campsite =)

 Luke's taking a break from setting up.  

 And we're off on our first hike.  Our Mission: to find the perfect walking sticks for everyone.  

 About 1/4 of the way through our hike we came across this beautiful meadow.

 The highlight of our trip: fishing.  This was the boys and my first time fishing!  We rented a pontoon boat for the morning, grabbed our poles, and set out.

 These two. ❤  Matt reeled in the first fish!!  He was about 7 inches, but you would've thought we had caught a prize-winning bass.  =)

 Enjoying the day with my boys.  I wish days like this would last forever...

 After exploring a few coves, we found this giant rock about 35 yards off the beach.  The boys all swam out to explore~ even Matty was somehow able to conquer his fear of crabs being in the lake to join Nate and the brothers out there.  =)

 And to cap out our trip, we stopped to grab dinner at Shaver Lake Pizza parlor.  =) Caleb could not get enough... soda.  

Seriously, one of the best times the Karrer family has had.❤

Working & Playing in Avila

Well, we took an impromptu mini-vacation the other day.  Nate had to work over at the coast and it was just too beautiful to not stay an extra day for fun. =)

 This is what it looked like when we drove in.  I mean, come on.
