crater lake

In September, Nathan braved his first Israelit Family Vacation. He held up like a trooper despite the fact that none of the rest of us had the sense to bring any snack food or water when we hiked. He tolerates us all very well. We lucked out and had beautiful sunny weather both days. The lodge did get good and chilly at night, but we loved it.

Even baby Lucy took the hike with us.
Sam was in a vacation mood, i.e. it was like travelling with three 9 year- olds instead of just one.
Zack out-cooled us all.

Max and Nathan operate at about the same energy level...
...the rest of us get tired hiking uphill.
