Bear Lake

Last weekend we headed to Bear Lake for the first time this year. I can't believe it took us so long to get up there. It has been a weird summer. But we made it and had a blast. On our way up we stopped in a campground in Logan Canyon for Quinn to find one of his letter boxes. We saw a moose standing in the river - take that Taylor. The kids had fun exploring and climbing on rocks while we waited for Quinn. This really helped the kids with the drive. They were so good! I only had to pull out something for them to do the last half hour.


This is why we were not able to go with Quinn on his treasure hunt as Emma calls them.
The next day we hit the beach and it was perfect. I don't know how we got so lucky but we got three days in a row with no wind. Amazing!

Love this new floaty, it holds his chest and head up out of the water. It's so much better than the life jacket which just dumps him face first but James is not used to it yet so he is protesting by sitting in the shade.

We thought it was just going to be Uncle Curt and Aunt Cindy and family with us this weekend but then Shelia and Corinne and their kids came up. I am so glad they did because the kids really had a blast with each other. Then Saturday morning Uncle Brad showed up with his girls for the day.  It was just like the old days.
Sorry for the bare bum but it is so cute I couldn't resist. I forgot swim diapers and was not going to buy some for one day. So he just wore a regular diaper which soaked up so much water it finally just fell off of him.

Fun in the sand!


Two cute sleeping kids. James slept most of the night on the floor. I did pick him up twice during the night but he always ended up like this. This was his first time not in a crib or playpen. Good thing it wasn't too cold.
Playing games!
