Loon Lake, Washington

Our annual visit to Loon Lake, WA was filled with our introduction to Al's great-nephew, Noah Dunn.  We also went rafting on the Spokane River, golfing, waterskiing (if you can believe it), and kayaking daily.  The weather was beautiful and no mosquitos!

Summer Summary 2011

.Memorial Day :  We headed out to Reno, NV and Lake Tahoe, CA.  There was snow in the mountains all week, and it did snow 2-3 times in town.
The weather was cool.  We needed our fleece jackets) most of the time.
The photos are from our tours on the "Tahoe Queen", on foot, and on the road.

 A destination we hope to revisit!
