Bear Lake...

Yesterday Shane arrived home from his 10 day "trip" to Hawaii...  He was working.(on the Laie Temple).. hard I might add, but with not bad scenery when he was not. :)  We missed him, but decided to have a great time anyway!!

We headed to my parents condo at Bear Lake for the week... had lots of visitors and lots of  fantastic times!

The first day (monday)  Lisa drove up with us.  Lisa is pretty much one of mine and my girls favorite people... she spoils my children...  Jadyn still thinks she needs a 44 oz rootbeer everyday thanks to Lisa!

On Tuesday evening Kim and Deon joined us with their kids.

We had a great time of course... stayed up till 4 am chatting and laughing, and spent most of Wednesday at the beach and pool.  Later that day the girls wanted to rent a tandem bike.  I don't know that I have ever ridden (is that a word? It looks weird...) one...  I thought I wanted to try it.  But it was creepy, I love Lisa, but apparently don't trust her as the driver and me as the rider, can you tell?

Kim and Deon seemed much more calm... they did almost run down an important man though... do any of you recognize him?

Well we chased him down to shake his hand...

It's L. Tom Perry... I didn't recognize him at first, I was too busy taking pictures of my biking friends, but when he walked by he said in his familiar voice, "So sorry for ruining your pictures."  I laughed and said, "oh, no, not at all."   When Kim rode by to tell us who he was I remembered how I knew that voice.  We had a nice chat with him and he warned me to enjoy my kids because when they turn 16 I am going to have to "WATCH OUT!"

Later that night all our friends went home and the next day my sister Shelly and her kids came up for a couple of days.

The kids all had fun... got plenty of sun time and wii "just dance" time in too!

Thursday night I took most of the kids to Pickleville Playhouse to watch "Crazy for You".  Deon's son Nate is in it...  one of Jadyn's favorite people (ours too of course.)  It was fun!  The girls especially loved having their "Pickles" at intermission.

Thanks Shell for watching Lydia while we went.

Logan stayed back too... this was as close as Logan got to Lydia the whole month they were here...  not really a baby person...  we love you anyway Logie!

Friday night Shell and fam went home and Saturday my bestest friend since 1st grade Shelby came up with her kids.  

Shelb hasn't come to Bear Lake with me for YEARS, but she used to come every single year with me and my family growing up.  Everyone needs a friend like Shelby... she is someone who is always there and will never be replaced.  I pray that my girls with find friends as awesome as mine were (and are!)

We had a great time... and the kids had a blast together!

It was a fabulous week...

I dare say  we had MUCH more fun than Shane did!! :Even if we didn't see any tropical fish!)
