Bear Lake Week #2

We just got back from our second week at Bear Lake. We are sad that all the fun is over and that we have to get back to real life. We are still trying to get out of vacation mode and back into real world mode. Luckily we had a Sunday to do that before Nate heads back to work tomorrow. We had a wonderful week with lots of sun, sand, water, and food. We rode waverunners and went boating. We even got Gavin and Liam on the waverunner and boat and they loved it! (I didn't get any pictures of it) :( We feel so blessed to have such a nice place to go to relax each year. I have tons of pictures again, so enjoy! Can't wait for our Bear Lake adventures next summer!

My sweet beach girl!

My sister having a late night snack! (She really wasn't eating all that, just most of it!) :)


My niece with her cool sand castle.

Nate buried our nephew in the sand. Isn't his expression great?! :)


This is Liam with his cousin Lizzy. Two peas in a pod.



Gavin with his cousin David. We actually got Gavin to go on a four-wheeler ride and he loved it!


Nate and my brother-in-law playing horseshoes.



Liam playing in the sand/mud. He was always dirty.


My sweet beach girl again.


My nephew Bryce"The digger". He accidently dug his toes with the shovel and had to get his toes glued! Ouch!

Painting Bear Lake rocks will never get old! Who even started that? Aunt Chris?

Looks like you guys had a great time. I love the photos of the kiddies.

Incidentally, I can't help but notice the Russian in your blog title--"Rodina". Where did this come from? Did your husband serve a mission in Russia? If so, which one?

Thanks for proving I go to Bear Lake, too. Couldn't you have gotten me on one of my morning walks or riding the wave runner? Just to prove I have some vitality? Melanie
