Exploring Lake Pend Oreille

I had so much fun exploring Lake Pend Oreille again while I was in Idaho this summer! We are extremely lucky that Scott’s grandparents have a house on the water and we can just jump onto the boat and go! Grandpa John takes us on his famous Jungle Cruises! I am always on the lookout for moose, elk and deer. They like to take a swim in the water during those hot summer days. Lake Pend Oreille in the northern Idaho Panhandle is the largest lake in the U.S. state of Idaho and the 38th-largest lake by area in the United States, with a surface area of 148 square miles. They also say that since the lake is so deep they do submarine testing too. My favorite fun fact that I discovered this summer was that Matthew Mcconaughey bought a house right on the lake! I can’t wait to come back and maybe run into him at the local grocery store … the town is very small it could happen!

Seattle Wildflowers

Some people might be surprised that we can find wild flowers in the most random places … even in downtown Seattle!

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted this patch when I was walking from the ferry to the field.

Commuting can be FUN! I know your thinking I’m crazy but really “Why not?” I get to sit on the boat, relax, surf the internet and write fun little blog posts too! And maybe a few episodes of Netflix in there too since we got a new phone carrier and that unlimited data is calling my name. I like the view and the possible wildlife sightings. I have yet to see a whale but I do get to take some amazing photos!

Some of these waterfront homes make my heart swoon and I wish I could live in a house with a view like that! You know you are used to your commute when you start to recognize and know the ferry workers. I did make a friend out of all this too! I just need the weather to get a little nicer and a little bit more sunny and I will be a kid in a candy store out on the sun deck.
