We had an amazing week at Red Fish Lake. It was our first ever family camping trip and I am very happy and relieved to report that it was a huge success. Red Fish is so beautiful and completely worth the drive.

lots of quality cousin time

Laney, Charlie, and George. Laney was super cute with my boys and they love her to pieces.

Zane's Awapahui
The Sayer's (my mom's husband + family) have a tradition they call "Awapahui," each person sets a personal goal to do something brave or awesome on the water. The completion of your goal is called an Awapahui and the awards (t-shirts) are handed out each night at the family dinner.
Nana, Lara, and Brauer (love the Brauer belly)

Charlie was/is so incredibly proud of himself. I am so glad that he got the chance to be brave and do something that was hard for him.
more crazy cousin games

Charlie had a hard last day. I kept him up too late the night before and we all paid the price but even with a grumpy Charlie it was an awesome experience. It is hard to describe how beautiful Red Fish is and there is no cell service. It is remote and majestic and it was a great way to unplug, relax and create some awesome memories.
A special thank you to the Sayer's who welcomed us so warmly and included us in all of their fun traditions (the Sayer family has been camping at Red Fish for over 40 years).

So incredibly beautiful!
I love Red Fish. I plan on going every year. There is just nothing like it.
Your pictures are awesome!! It was so fun and we loved having you there with us! Awapahui!!!
Love the pics. You guys do such fun family things....I am jealous!
That looks amazing!
Love all the pictures.. it's so pretty there, I love how clear the water is! Definitely gonna have to add it to our list of places to go! Looks like you guys had so much fun!!!
I can't get over the crystal, clear water and the majestic mountains! Seriously, that place looks amazing. I just googled it to get more info, and I'm excited to show Jeff. We've wanted to check out the Sawtooth area for a while, and hopefully we can do some camping at Red Fish next summer.
I love the Awa...can't remember the term, but what a great idea. Conquering water fears is a huge confidence booster, in my opinion. Adding a cool T-shirt to the mix makes it even better.
Beautiful and fun pictures, Amy!
It looks like a beautiful lake!! Congrats for surviving camping with kids! It's a lot of work for Mom & Dad, but it does create great memories!
sooo beautiful!!
