We spent Labor Day weekend with our friends Rebecca, Ted, Jamie and Gwen up in Lassen National Park. It was pretty ridiculously beautiful and the weather was absolutely perfect. We went swimming in lakes and went on hikes. We saw a lot of cool fumeroles and other volcanic features and stinky sulphur. There were some funny metal-heads on hogs blasting the Skynyrd song "ewww that smell" when they drove by sulphur works. That song is still in my head and became a theme song of the trip. Ezra did really great on the hike to Bumpass Hell -- I think he actually walked at least 2 of the 3 miles himself. The kids also had a ton of fun making mud soup at cold boiling lake. The weather was perfect for swimming in Summit Lake. We stayed in a great house too in Mineral and ate good food and drank wine and had a great time relaxing. I somehow convinced everyone to watch my favorite 80s movie Labyrinth. Gotta love David Bowie.
