Wilbur's Vacation in Sunriver

We spent the last week in Sunriver and enjoyed our time away immensely. It was beautiful there - warm the first few days then it cooled off a bit.  We left on Wednesday of last week and that was when the Rooster Rock fire was burning just outside of Sisters, Ore.  This is the smoke from the fire that we could see from the road.

All the smoke that day made for an amazing sunset.

We spent a lot of time biking the trails and swimming and reading and playing games and eating great food.

We spent some time at the pool when we weren't exploring the trails via our bikes.  Got caught up on a lot of good reading and enjoyed the hot tub in the cool evenings.  On Saturday we took the kids to Crater Lake.  They had never been, and I hadn't been there in the summer since I was a little kid (remember hiking down to the lake but not having enough water on the long way back up??).  The kids really loved the park and I finally got my wish to go inside the Lodge there.  Very charming and alpine-y.  The building is absolutely beautiful, especially sitting on the edge of the cliffs.  We didn't take any pictures in the Lodge (I was too busy imagining myself getting to stay the night there), but it was very spectacular.  The drop to the bottom is surprisingly steep, and the road to the entrance wasn't for the faint of heart.
