Bear Lake...

Our last summer hoorah was 9 days at Bear Lake.

Doing very little, vegging in front of the TV, relaxing on the beach and playing at the pool.

Shane was there off and on... actually ended up there for 4 days which was longer than I thought he was going to be able to make it so we were happy about that.

Tayler had her friend Taitlin there with her for most of the week, Saige had Kaylee for a few days.  Then we headed home for church and Josh's homecoming before heading back up with different friends.  Kylie for Tay and Paige to entertain all of us. :)

I did some scrapbooking, but was so lazy that I never even picked up my camera.  Just mooched off of Tay's.  And pretended like I wasn't getting emails and phone calls that I didn't want to deal with.

The lake felt pretty great this late in the summer.



The girls ate plenty of ice cream...

 mini-golfed...

 Had shaved ice...

And chilled in the hammock...

when they weren't off meeting boys or doing other teenage stuff like that.

One of the days Joe, Lisa and Josh came up and we rented wave runners.

The kids all loved it (minus Jadyn who didn't care for it much).

I was glad Lisa was a calm driver... but one ride was plenty for me.

Jadyn begged to go to "the diving board pool" everyday...

We switched off since the other pool is better for Lydi.

Lydi sure did love the slide!

Friday night the Carlsen's came up for the night, spent time with Kim's work the next day and then we all ate at one of our favorite Bear Lake places "Laketown Pizza".

More fun at the beach once Kylie and Paige were there.

(this is Lydia pulling her "crazy" face for the camera... she is too funny!)

 Pretty sure Kylie and Tay will ALWAYS remember these few days at Bear Lake.

It could have been the all-nighter they tried to pull... or it could have been something else...  :)

We rented this trampoline.  Jadyn did NOT like it at first, and it wasn't easy for me to get out there with the two little monkeys (one of which was freaking out... can you guess which one???).  But they all had fun and we were sad when our hour was up!!

Bear Lake...

the best place on earth.

And doing not much of anything can totally wear a person out!!



Thanks mom and dad for a fabulous place to make Bear Lake memories with our girls!!
