Clear, blue waters. White, sandy beaches. Lots of warm sunshine. And preferably wearing a bathing suit. That is my definition of paradise.
Who knew that you could find the clear, blue waters in the middle of nowhere Montana?!
Now that winter is over, we have found that camping is the activity of almost all weekends. Unfortunately, we do not have a camper or a tent. So we have resorted to ‘day camping’ with friends.
When Matt told me where we were going I kept thinking he was saying Cliff N’ Wade Lake. What an interesting name for a lake I had thought. But apparently it’s TWO lakes side by side. Cliff AND Wade Lakes.
The weather was supposed to be on the warmer side I had thought so I dressed Liam and I in pants and short sleeves and jackets. And I brought us each a pair of shorts for when it got warm. I feel confident it got increasingly cooler the longer we were there. The scattered rain showers that kept coming through helped with this.
The waters really were such a crystal blue. We could see probably twenty feet down – if not further. We took Matt’s boat out, paddled around and he fished for a while. Somehow (miracles do happen) Liam ended up falling asleep in my lap for over an hour. He was out. Even when the rain started up and I covered him with my raincoat he just kept right on snoozing.
