Bear Lake Fun!

Just our little family went to Bear Lake for a whole week. It was so much fun! We spent lots of time swimming, golfing, riding bikes, playing at the playground, playing games and can't forget boating. Warning, there are LOTS of pictures, all in random order of course. I only picked out my favorites.

Tyler loved the slide. He went down it over and over.
Tyler took many naps on the boat

Eating lunch on the boat. The funny thing about this picture is we were going fast headed to our favorite spot to play and a couple towels flew out. Darin turned around but not fast enough. He was able to dive in about 8 feet to save Heidi's towel as it was sinking fast. Kyle's towel however as become a nice home for a fish. We had LOTS of tears, but we finally decided Walmart had more towels.

Brandon was the first to get up on our new water ski's. He got pretty good with them.

Kyle knee boarded for over a half an hour. We finally pulled him in and made him quit.

Christopher caught a carp with his bare hands, tough guy.

Cute sunburned face!

Kyle and Christopher had fun making little sand castles with yogurt cups for Tyler. It was so funny. Tyler would go along and just smash the heck out of each little castle. It was quite a challenge to keep in front of him.
The little castle destroyer himself.
Christopher was finally able to get a 'city' going.
Christopher knee boarding. He wasn't so sure at first, but he finally liked it.

On Sunday we took their remote control cars down to the beach and drove them around. It was really fun.
We had an ice cream party because everyone either water skied or knee boarded! We were so proud of them!!

Our great friends the Jensen's came up one day. We had so much fun. They have 5 boys, so we had a boat load of boys! Their boys helped our boys be brave. They were jumpin in fools! We couldn't keep them in the boat, every time we were stopped the boys would be in the water. So fun! Sue and Mar also did some great surfing and knee boarding! Great job guys! Lots of fun memories that day!

With the Jensen's that night playing in the hot tub.
Heidi and Tyler LOVED the playground. Especially the swings and slides.
Heidi doesn't know how to pump herself yet, but we're working on it.
What cute kids!
Golfing was Christopher's favorite thing to do. We did lots of it. I don't think I ever improved. Darin got par once. Kyle... That kid was always in the rough, never in the right spot. Brandon always did well too.
Notice why Kyle was always in the rough. Big back swing = crazy hit!

It was a wonderful vacation. I think I'm ready to go back!

I really love all the pictures. I am so glad that you guys had a good time before all the harvest craziness starts in! That's so fun you got to hang with some friends too. Christopher and the carp just cracked me up. What mountain men.
