When we first got to Crater Lake, we were very surprised to see mounds of snow and ice instead of grass surrounding our campsite. After all, it is June! (At least I think it is June\u2026) After parking the RV, we drove the Jetta up to the rim of Crater Lake. We walked along the rim of the lake for awhile, taking tons of pictures of the beautiful lake. Once we were too cold to keep walking, we got back in the car and drove along the rim drive (most of the road wasn’t even on the rim). While we were driving, we saw some wacky sledders. One person had made garbage bag pants, another was sliding on a cookie tray. We saw three people with wetsuits on for sledding, (one was actually using his surfboard!), and we thought that the wet suits were a great idea, so the next day we put ours on and headed out to sled.<\/p>\n

The day didn’t go too well. My boots kept getting filled with snow, and Jay’s hands and feet quickly got cold. Also, we had several crashes, because we were sledding on a boogie board, and boogie boards aren’t really good at turning in the snow. Jay and I were soon frozen, so we called it a day and headed home.<\/p>\n

The next day, we went sledding again, this time with plastic bags on our feet to keep them dry, and a much steeper hill. We went so extremely fast! At first I had some trouble staying on the board: Jay and I ended up sliding down the hill head first on our backs several times. Still, it was a ton of fun! Mom also joined in the fun and went down the slope as well.<\/p>\n

At Crater Lake, we also did something that we don’t do often- we had a campfire with s’mores every night! Jay had his first s’more, and he loved it!<\/p>\n
