Our special place is Prelude Lake Territorial Park.
This park and campground along with the Prelude Lake Panoramic Trail has been a family favorite spot for a few years. Our tradition began on Mother's Day 2008.

| Where it all began! |
Every Mother's Day and every year on Claire's birthday since we have packed everyone up, plus a picnic, fire wood, and a few toys up and head out for
a day of fun. We always take a picture at the end of the trail on
the deck that overlooks the lake.
I love being out there with my
family.
Just us.
Having uninterrupted time together.
No distractions.
On Claire's estimated due date Andrew and I took the day off
and went out on our own to have some quiet time together.

Once Claire's birthday rolled around I knew that that was the place I wanted the whole family to be more than any other place. We made sure to add cupcakes for the birthday girl to the list of what to bring along this time, as well balloons to send her way with special messages and drawings all over them.

I feel close to her there. I always look forward to going back. I feel her love there.
