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.

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.

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.

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).
