We went and explored Crater Lake today. It is the deepest lake in the United States and has an amazing deep blue color (my pictures don't do it justice). It was formed by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. Camden has been fascinated with volcanoes off and on for the last couple of years. This is one of the volcanoes featured in a couple of his volcano books. It was wonderful to be able to see it in real life. When we first arrived, it was snowing and we could hardly see the lake. The weather cleared up a little after we ate lunch up there, so we went for a drive around the lake to admire and enjoy its beauty and try to get a few more pictures. Camden loved Wizard's Island (a cinder cone volcano that erupted after Crater Lake began to fill with water), because it was a mini volcano inside a huge volcano.

After being way up in the mountains in the snow, the hot tub on our deck beckoned to us. The kids love it when we have our own hot tub to soak in and "make bubbles."
