California 2013 - Next Stop, Lake Almanor! (Part 1 - On the Beach)

 Lake Almanor is one of those magical places that make you want to savor every moment.  We were so lucky to be able to go again this year.  Just about every picture has great scenery behind it - that's just how Lake Almanor is.

The kids spent hours playing on the dock - jumping off, pushing others off, getting some sun, and just chilling.

  Leon had the right idea - just on his own, wherever the waves and paddles took him. 
 There were little, tiny fish all over the place.  Landon told me that he "caught a fish THIS big" - not hard to do considering the sheer numbers of them. 
Of course, being on the beach you just HAVE to make a sand castle.  
 The kids always had something to do - even if it was just a quick paddle around the dock. 
"Buddy" the dog even got in on the canoeing action.  
 The last night we were there, the kids just couldn't come in off the dock.  The view was amazing - can't blame 'em, but... 
 ...they were actually having jumping contests off of the dock.  They were freezing cold, but having so much fun.
