Bear Lake 2009

We had a blast at Bear Lake! It was so nice and relaxing and SO much fun to just be with my little family. We checked in Monday evening and just enjoyed being there. We had a great location right by the pool, mini golf course, and playground which we took full advantage of almost everyday.

Tuesday we went and tried out the pool with a diving board. The water was FREEZING! Jayson got in and got right back out. The other 2 stayed in and swam with Sean and I put my legs in. I was not about to jump into ice water.

Wednesday we rented Wave Runners and went out for a spin. Sean had Jayson and Tayler with him and I had Rylee with me. Those are a fun little toy and amazingly I felt so safe on them. I'm sad I didn't get any pictures. I wasn't about to take my nice camera out there. I really need a travel camera!

Thursday we rented ATV's and went on a 5 hour ride up in the Mountains. It was a blast and the kids loved it (for the first 3 hours at least :) The last 2 hours did seem to be a little too much. When we got home I felt like I ran a marathon. We were dirty from head to toe (LITERALLY) and my legs and bum hurt so bad! It was so fun to have the mountains on one side and the lake and beach on the other. The best of both worlds, for sure!

Friday and Saturday were a little cold. But we found lots to do still.

Wednesday Tay lost her top tooth. Look at that hole! Thank heavens the tooth fairy still found us clear up there. :)

We also went on bike rides. Good think Jays loves wearing a helmet. Crazy kid!

Sunday we went up to a lake called TONY GROOVE for a little picnic lunch. It was beautiful up there.

The kids got brave and dipped their feet in the lake.

Saturday it was rainy and 49 degrees so we drove down to Logan to see Jen, Steve and their cute kids who were staying at their friends house. I really didn't want to say good-bye. It was hard, but I am so glad that we were able to spend a few hours with them. We laughed and cried and had a wonderful time. Good luck in Georgia Moores! You'll be great.

All the cousins from Jen and I.

I couldn't get Steve to smile at me, he kept making funny faces.

Look at the Parker's beautiful back yard. It was amazing. Jayson found a cat and chased it around the whole time.

7 days of bliss! It makes me appreciate the simple things in life so much more. We snuggled, watched movies, went and got ice cream almost every night, took naps, woke up late, stayed up late, ate WAY too many chocolate covered rasberries (it was the tail end of rasberry days at Bear Lake), went on bike rides, etc. Loved every minute!
