Another Smith family Bear Lake trip...and another amazing year! This year was a little different for our family because we had dropped Ethan off at the airport for his 2 year mission the day before and Evan decided to go on his Scout's 50 mile high adventure that week, so we just had Austin and McKinley there with us. Katie was also gone on her mission, so it was just a little different without those kids there! But we still enjoyed ourselves so much and it was actually a good distraction to Ethan having left. The beauty of Bear Lake is so relaxing and the weather was perfect. Camping with the whole Smith family is such a fun time and we really do have it down to a science with the food, the fun, and the beaching!
It's so amazing to be together with the whole family for 4-5 days. What's really neat is that every single one of those people get along with each other. There are no long standing disagreements or anything, so it's so relaxing and lovely. I love to see all the cousins together with the aunts and uncles chatting and swimming and having fun. It's truly amazing!
This year we had 3 dogs at Bear Lake. Jag, Belle, and Sam. And they did so well. Jag had an especially good year as he learned to hang around camp and didn't have to be tied up much. He took long naps in the air conditioned camper while we were at the beach. He did make it halfway to the beach one day, but we took him back up. Too bad the dogs can't enjoy the beach and the water...they would love it!
The days go by so quickly and before you know it it's time to go home and back to real life. I'm so glad we can go each year and enjoy the time together. It's a magical time!!
