Bear Lake is one of the best parts of summer and we look forward to it every year. This year was no exception! It is always a ton of work to get ready and get up there, but it's so worth it. This year we had almost every member of the family there for about 12 hours, and most were there for the full time. It's getting hard with everyone's schedules, but we continue to make it a priority and get time off from work and activities!
Bear Lake is always about the beach, the campfire, the visiting, and the food and activities! We eat so well at Bear Lake. We look forward to dutch oven chicken and cobblers, scones, smores, and just great food and snacks all day!
This year we were able to make bleach shirts with a lot of the kids. We had made them back at the girls retreat, but this time we were pro's and the kids were able to make some too. There was a lot of creativity and they all turned out to good. The only snafu was Zach's plan to spell out I love Salt Lake Utah, which turn into "I heart SLUT!" Oops...hehe.
A lot of the kids are getting bigger now, with a few more waverunner drivers and a lot more help, but we still have our little ones who just love getting dirty and eating junk for the trip!!
I think we were successful with not getting too many sunburns this year and the weather was amazing! It wasn't cold at night and the best part was there were no mosquitos for some reason...no complaints there!
Unfortunately we did experience our first ER proceedure done on the picnic table. Poor Taylor had a bike wreck and split open his chin. Luckily we had Dr Carman (aka Dad) and a PA and operating room tech and a steady cop with a flashlight who all took care of the situation and all was well.
Bear Lake is such a precious childhood memory for all these cousins and one of my fondest memories from the past 17 years as well! We love Bear Lake!
