Sunday Afternoon at Silver Lake

We love Silver Lake at the Brighton Ski Resort so much, that we went twice this summer. The second time we met all our family there for our monthly get-together, and to celebrate Sara's birthday. The highlight of the afternoon (in addition to Laura's yummy dessert) was that we saw a moose! He ran across the trail right in front of Rosie, Will and Max. We watched him wade in the water and eat the water plants. It was very interesting, and also a little frightening when we had to walk across the path directly above him to continue on around the lake.

The cousins loved climbing a steep rocky wall, we were glad Uncle Jonny was there to supervise and help the younger ones climb down. They also loved playing in a large clearing, walking across fallen logs. It was a great afternoon!

This is what the cousins did while we ate dessert; they played in the water and mud and got very dirty!

Here are our pictures from an earlier visit to Silver Lake. We didn't see any moose; just lots of fish, a fuzzy caterpillar and some ducks.
