Bear Lake 2013

We have been looking forward to our Bear Lake trip with the Norris' since planning it in February!! We were originally supposed to go a week earlier but had to do a little rescheduling after I got called as Camp Director. Luckily it all worked out and we were so excited for our little family vacation!

We were able to borrow Lindsay and Landon's camp trailer which was soooo much better than a tent! We did get a flat tire on the trailer about three miles from our campground, but handy James fixed it up in no time! We headed straight to the beach as soon as we got settled. The beach was rocky but that didn't stop the girls and we had plans to head to sandy beaches the next day. The water is just as blue and beautiful and clear as everyone says!

We enjoyed lots of beach time, the kids did crafts and had a blast together, and of course we got a famous Bear Lake raspberry shake. We had such a fun time and hope to make more trips to Bear Lake in the future. Thanks Norris family for such a fun getaway!!

 

 

Later on Avri got in her swimsuit and had a ball swimming by herself until she talked Dad into getting in the chilly water too. 

 

Someone is a major Daddy's girl... ;)

James and Brock sculpting their pyramid. They later added brick lines, an entrance, and Jason helped Brock sculpt a sphinx. Pretty intense. ;)

 

While waiting in line for shakes, I look down and see Claire is making this face to anyone who will look at her...mostly innocent line bystanders. Whose kid is this?!? ;)

Allie, Brock, Mikele, Kassie, Ave, Claire, Em patiently waiting for their yummy shakes!

Emery and Claire gave the famous raspberry shake a big thumb's up! It was delcious! Ave wouldn't even try a tiny bite. Silly goose.
