Bear Lake

First off a big ol' THANKS to my mom and my dad for putting this little family trip together! My mom decided that we had better start doing family reunions. We have them all the time with her side of the family and they are fun. As the families are getting bigger and bigger it is harder and harder to get us all together. So we all took some time off and headed for Bear Lake. Cassie and her family live in Ohio so it isn't easy for them to load it up and head on over! We missed them a lot and wished they could have come!

We got there and the boys were mostly excited to be OUT of the car! We played a little bit before everyone else arrived.

Then more peeps showed up and found a cool little wagon deal that Gma was so cool to give rides! I pretended to be busy so I didn't have to take a turn!

Cole took Jayce on a little tour of the area and made sure he made it back to the cabins safely!

Once more of the cousins showed up they helped themselves to a little playtime on the little swing set that the poles moved when they swung....they didn't notice though.



He had been eyeing down the sand, buckets, and shovels all day... the inner kid couldn't hold back!

Mr. build it (well more create it) man came along to help the kids build a sand castle... they are taking notes.

Here is a picture of the work in progress...

Hey Beach Babes! (notice i did not attach one of me... and if anyone that went on this trip does... you will wake up tomorrow with NO eyebrows, i promise!)

Hey Daws! Taking a little break from the water fun? Didn't last more than a minute laying there!


Back in action... sooo many shells to collect! (oh crap i need to get the little smelly baggy of them out of my trunk!

He did get up twice.... once to eat lunch and once to take my mom for a crazy jet ski ride!

Cole was going strong all day long with all his cousins.

That is a mighty big hole for 2 little fella's.... I think they were diggen for treasures aka smelly shells!

Rookie and Zoey digging their own hole and filling it with water!

Heya boys! Anyone up for some relaxing?

Cole and Rook made sure the back net was nice and secure before we loaded everything back up!

Did I mention that it was kinda chilly at times during the day at the beach? This is when we were rapping things up to head on out.

What a COOL Gma! She rode in the back of the truck to and from the beach! Even after her hair looked so nice... what a champ!

We got back, showered, had dinner and played a little baseball with everyone.

We got up early the next morning and went to church. It was a big ol ward, but I did wonder how many of them were like us and were only visiting. (oh yeah, i forgot my bag with my shampoo, conditioner, face wash, brushes, blow dryer, flat iron, etc. that is why I look like I have been at the beach instead of church.)
Here is a family shot of us in front of #9. This was a great place to stay. Every fam got their own cabin and they are all by each other!

This is Tilly. She was waiting for us on our front porch. She welcomed us immediately and followed us around the whole time. Rook loved her the most!
We then went down to Garden City for lunch. We went to Bear Lake Pizza and got the biggest pizza we had ever seen! Sorry no pics. I think Becky got one or my mom though. It was 28inches round! We got it for all of us and still had enough left over for 3 of us to take some home! It was quite tasty too!

The end.
