Bear Lake

Over the 24th of July my family went up to Bear Lake. We have had this vacation planned for awhile now, and everyone was excited to go.

When we got up there, we went straight into the water. It was so HOT up there. I made sure Case and Riley were covered in suncreen since they both have light skin. Case told me to do the same. I just barely put it on my face and shoulders. I wanted to get a tan, and I got burnt instead. It didnt bother me at all, just me ears. They were burnt to a crisp.

We rented some wave-runnners and they are a blast. The first day was a little choppy, but still fun. Next was good, but on Sunday the water was so smooth. We also, brought up a tube to go on the back of the wave-runners, and once I got on it, I was having fun, but once I went over a HUGE bump, it scared me. (I'm getting too old of this stuff, and plus Im a mom. Ha ha ) I still had a lot of fun on them.

The water was TOO cold for Riley to play in, but we put is feet in and let him splash around for awhile. Then we took him to the pool, where the water was nice and warm for him.

My parents also brought a bad-mitten net and we all got to play with it. We wanted to play it so bad on saturday night we set it up late, so there wasn't much light to play, but the next day, we had a little tournament against each other.

I think we all had a good time. By the end of the 3rd day EVERYONE was EXHAUSTED. The sun and playing all day wears you out.

Here are a few pictures.








My dad with his socks on. He forgot his water shoes, and he didnt want his feet to get sunburned.






Yay! I finally get to go home and relax!

Christmas in July

This past weekend My mom's side of the family went up to Lava Hot Springs to spend time togeher. Since, we dont have a Christmas party on this side of the family, because it is hard for my uncles and grandparents to come down in the middle of winter from Idaho. And that is why we all get together in the summer. In the past we have gone up to Pine View Dam and rented wave-runners, rented a cabin in Idaho and went fishing, and then this year up to Lava.

We went swimming all day, had a BBQ at night, and went to the hot pots. We all had a great time. The only ones that weren't able to make it cause of work was my sister Mallory, and cousin Dennette. Hopefully, next time we all can get together.
