In July we took a trip down to Crater Lake and Newberry with our friends Steve and Karen.  We had an awesome time driving around the 33 mile caldera rim, hiking down to the lake (no one was brave enough to jump in but we all got our toes wet), exploring the glorious breweries of Bend, and getting our fill of Dutch Brothers Coffee.

Summer arrived late in the Pacific Northwest as many of you know...so we were able to see swirls of pollen in the lake (see pictures!).
