Bear Lake Adventure

We got back, yesterday from a family reunion at Bear Lake. It was a lot of fun and really nice to just slow down and relax. It is nice to not have to do so much and to not feel guilty for the things you aren't doing at home!


A member of Aaron's extended family owns some property on Bear Lake. It isn't improved much--there is a toilet, shower (cold), sink and electricity. There are a few picnic tables, but you pretty much have to bring everything yourself.

We spent most of the time sitting and talking to family, reading, crocheting, playing and swimming. It was nice and we didn't get horrible sunburns. I do have a weirdly shaped sunburn on my back. It looks like a big "X". I guess the sunscreen didn't get right next to my swim suit.

Luke got to go on his first boat ride!!



Aaron and Luke built me my own, private island!! They dug a channel so that the water would surround a part of the sand. It was pretty cool. Now all I need is a cabin on it and some servants!

Here is Luke walking through the channel.



Aaron went for a bike ride a couple of times and when he did, Freckles sat and looked for him to come back and whined.



Freckles also learned how to swim this trip! She was scared at first, but once she did it, she was fine and loved it!

Belle had a blast putting mud and water into a bucket. She did that for a long time!



Belle also spent a lot of her time at the water spigot. It was so funny--most times that I lost sight of her, we'd find her over there, playing with the water. This was a very watery vacation for her!



Luke got his training wheels off at Bear Lake!! He was really excited. He still needs a lot of help riding, but we thought a place with lots of open space that was softer than pavement would be a great place to start!



Now we just have to clean up from the mess it all caused! It was worth it, though!

I love Bear Lake, if for nothing else than all the delicious berry stands.

What great pictures and it looks like a fantastic time!

That is so funny. Our girl learned how to take her training wheels off at the lake last year as well. Glad you had such a great time.
