We made our annual trip to Hawley Lake (Just past Pinetop/Lakeside). We look forward to this trip every year. Especially Jerry, he counts down the days, the day we leave the last year! We go up with Jerry's mom's family and rent a couple of cabins. We have such a great time with family and enjoying the wonderful mountain air and climate. Here are a few things that happened and that we love about Hawley Lake":
- Annual Horseshoe Game
- Volleyball (net made out of yarn!) : )
- Frisbee Golf (with a made up course)
- Crawdad fishing and playing at the lake
- Eat! Eat! Eat!
- Pulling out a huge stump to make room for the volleyball court
- The water not working! : ( (Not a fun time)
- Don't Eat Pete!
- Grandma's Fishing game for the kids
- Games, Games, And More Games!
- Beautiful weather, occasional rain, and nice and cool the rest of the time!
- Family Pics (for once our entire family except for gpa schupple were there!)
- Did I mention we ate?!?
- A New game they made up where they had someone see how many times they can run around the cabin without stopping! (It was supposed to be a joke, but it always ends up being a competition!) Jalen, Jerry, and Josh all took the challenge! (the kids tried to run along too! Every time they passed by the family we would cheer them on! We would even make a tunnel for them to run under! It was so funny because it was so dumb!
We love going to Hawley Lake, but it is far, and the cabins not so clean, beds hard as rocks, and when we don't get running water it can be a pain. We are thinking of going somewhere else next year. We are really disappointed, but hopefully we can find a better place to continue on the tradition. (If anyone knows of a place that can house around 30-35 people for a reasonable price, please let us know!)
