Bear Lake Again!

In August we headed back to Bear Lake with everyone this time for 4 fun days. Great Grandma and Grandpa Moore were there this time, with Grandma and Grandpa Van Bibber, Aunt Carly and Cousin Owen, Aunt Annie and Uncle Brock. Then Uncle Bruce, Aunt Shelly, Cousin Heidi and Cousin Quinn came for a few days too. Great Grandma and Grandpa Zundel drove up for a day as well. Then Cousins Becca and Missy showed up late one night. We had a great trip with fun at the beach and lots of Forced Family Fun!

This girl was 6 months old on this trip and the best sleeper. She is such a good and happy baby and was so happy as she was passed around to people she didn't know all day.

We have found a way to keep the kids happy and not have to go to the lake every day!

It's fun, it's exciting, it's challenging, it's Sequence!

Emma is super brave and caught a lizard again!
 
She showed Grandma and Cousin Owen, Grandma wasn't so brave.

We think this is the baby moose from the year before. He walked by our tent the night before and we found him the next day relaxing down below us on the hill.



Here's James playing on the kindle at night and Grandma's phone the next morning. I know it looks like that's all they do but it's what keeps them out of my hair when they are the most cranky so I can get things done are ready for them. (Okay it also is just easy so I can enjoy my vacation a little bit more too!)
 
 
A perfect day at the Beach!

Beach Baby - she was a little upset because we wouldn't let her eat sand.

Making another sand castle - no picture of the finished product though.
I guess we were having too much fun or else a Giant (James) came through and wrecked it.

Cousins going for a boat ride.

Happy baby, loves the water.

Momma and Mia


Had to update the boat driving pictures with Papa.
James is a little sad because he forgot to honk the horn with driving.
 


I got Emma to ride the tub with me this year. She screamed/talked the entire time yelling, "This is so much fun, Ahhhhh!" So glad I was sitting in back of her. I will have to remember that she is a screamer on amusement rides. A few times she almost flew off when we hit a wave but I was able to wrap my legs around her. We did get dumped off but not by a wave but by Dad slowing down and then going again, we just sank. But it was good because it showed Emma that we would be alright and that our life jackets really do hold us up. She had a worried look on her face she finally popped up (I landed on top of her so that probably didn't help) but once she found me she was okay. As we got back in the boat she said, "That totally awesome but I'm never doing that again." Love this girl, and we are so doing it again.
 
The beach is way for fun with Cousins.
 
 Mia was just a bit sandy in all her rolls so she got a quick bath in Grandma's toy tub and loved it.
 
So here we go on the Forced Family Fun:
Balloons again.
 
Minute to win it games: Junk in your trunk.

Cereal box puzzles

Stack four apples

Ding dong stacking

Blow the cups off the table with a balloon

And finally our bike ride.

Quinn is all tuckered out from pulling the kids. Mia and Owen stayed with Aunt Annie and Uncle Brock who somehow managed to get out of going. Quinn definitely earned his Bear Lake Shake don't you think.
