Bear Lake

 

We went on our annual vacation to Bear Lake July 27-30th. We stayed at the Paris Springs campground again.

We got there later and cooked hot dogs over the campfire. 

I love looking at all the stars every night from camp. 

On Monday morning we drove to a beach that was farther East on the Idaho side. We wanted to find a part of the beach that was dog friendly. Unfortunately, it was too shallow to launch our wave runners. So we ended up driving back to the North side of the lake. 

It was fun having both Sienna and Paige come up with us. 

Halle found another heart shaped rock. I love that she finds these every where we go! 

Kev took Ollie out for a ride on the wave runner. He seemed to enjoy it.

Ollie just chilled most of the time in a camp chair. We enjoyed having him with us this time. He is such a good dog!

We went to dinner at Zipp's that night. I always enjoy the food and not having to cook. 

The next day Hayden and I launched the wave runners. He enjoys the freedom of riding on his own now. 

Dark clouds and wind blew in when we got there. It even sprinkled rain for awhile. Luckily, it did not last long and we were able to enjoy the rest of the day. 

The kids had fun digging and building sandcastles. 

They even dug up these little shells that they used. Sienna also rescued a butterfly from the water. We thought it was dead because it was not moving for the longest time. Then suddenly it revived and flew away. 

We were happy that Kristen, Scott, Maddi, and Jax were able to come up for the day! It was great catching up with them. 

Addy and Paige went on many tube rides while we were there. 

I took this picture of Jax out in the water. The clouds and sun rays looked beautiful. 

Sienna and the rest of the kids worked hard to make this cool sea turtle. They made it in honor of Ben Frost. He usually makes one every year. We were missing all the friends that were not able to make it up this year. 

Kristen took this cute picture of the girls. I can't believe our girls are all grown up and getting ready for college and grown up jobs now!
