We took the boys on their first backpacking trip this July. Our good friends the Morris's joined us with their two young sons. We started the boys out with an easy backpack, and hiked just one mile down to a beautiful little Alpine lake near Cascade, Idaho called Blue Lake. All of the boys had their own packs, and really enjoyed themselves. We hiked through the snow around the lake, and fished for trout. Although it was 100 degrees in Boise, the lake was at about 7500' so it was still pretty cool up there. We stayed just one night, and had a huge full moon to enjoy.
