Twin Lakes 2012

Twin Lakes was an awesome adventure as always!  For those of you not in the know, Twin Lakes is located on the Colville Indian Reservation in Northeastern Washington.  Our family, on my dad’s side, has been going there since my dad was a baby.  We stay in a mixture of the “trabin” (single wide trailer built onto like a cabin), and some campers, and tents.  We play with the cousins, share meals, swim, waterski, tube, wake board, canoe, fish, ride bikes, and generally have an amazing time.  Despite a few cases of of strep throat, and hand foot and mouth (post Twin Lakes), and my Dad breaking his ankle, it went off fairly flawlessly this year.  My Dad is awesome though, I mean what other almost 70 year old wake boards on a regular basis?  And has a seasons pass at a ski resort?

Getting towed when we ran out of gas
The last day we had to get in one more ski, and ran out of gas on the other side of the lake.
Thanks to the anonymous wake board boat who towed us home!
