Bear Lake 2011

This years Bear Lake was a blast!! All the family was there and we rented the sweet water condos again this year. Due to the run off the lake was so full and so much closer than last year.  The only problem was the beach had ons of grass debris but our handy men just started to clean off the beach. The kids loved all the fun beach toys mom and dad got and once in a while greyson would ask for the prize patrol. And our patio was so full of beach toys youcould barly get outside. Evia particullary liked the seahorse.We had a fun cookout and grandpa and aunt marilyn came up It was so nice to have grampy up to see all of the kids at once me and david made burgers and brats and had a fun dinner outside We did so many fun things  We swam for hours at the lake and the swimming pool  brandon took evia down the slide and greyson and me became slide pool buddies.And the boys  loved being towed on papas boat even though the excitement got to them and they fell asleep before they came on shore.I even got buried like a mermaid. Later that night while we were playing games a huge storm came out of nowhere and the wind was crazy so the boys were our heros and ran down to the beach to grab our stuff they got most of our things except for an air mattress which was probably on the other side of the lake byt the time the boys got there. It was hilarious to watch them run down  and soon after we looked over and saw dozens of other men running down to the beach to grab their stuff as the boys ran back under some willow trees they said they could hear branches cracking. Later the next morning there was huge branches and limbs on the ground right where the boys were running.We then took fun family pictures with mequettes wedding photographer on the beach and at the harbor. The  Pictures turned out so cute! We were only able to see a few of them But i will post more pictures of that later we went and got a famous bear lake rasberry shake.  We also flied kites Mequette got a cool  parrot kite from mom and dad it was hilarious to watch jenkin run at full speed trying to get the kite up. Mequette found a friend to watch the kidlets while we  went to a wonderful melodrama called " Who shot Juanito Bandito"  We had a wonderful rib eye dinner before the play and then watched the play. Due to a little mix up with the playhouse we were scattered around the theater but I was just glad we were able to get to see the show.The villian Juanito Bandito wrote and directed the play it was hilarious  my sides were hurting by the end of the play. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time there was alot of lds humor which made it even more funny. After that we came back to the condo and decided to go crazy with glow sticks We took some very cool pictures and even sprayed glowstick juice all over Mequette, some got in her eye but she was a good sport and was dancing like lady ga ga and doing piroettes through the sprinklers. That was such a fun night we were all so tired but we were having to much fun to notice. The whole time the kids were so cute and were having a blast playing on swings playing with kites, coloring, bubbles you name it we did it!! This was such a breath of fresh air and was so much fun I did not want to come home until the last day all of us were sunburnd beyond belief everyone was on tylenol and aloe vera. The last day we cleaned up checked out and spent the day on the beach and boat  Evia was so sleepy and was so scared when me and david went out on the tube she kept crying  and to keep her from being scared we said daddy is going fast zoom zoom and then she started to repeat that over and over until  aunt ketty eventually was cozy enough to fall asleep in her life jacket.Byt his time everyone had enough sun and we were ready to head home. We ate at wingers  stayed the night at my parents. I think I got to much sun and was not feeling good so I watched the kids for a little bit while the adults went to see harry potter. The boys were so cute and wanted to snuggle next to me while they fell asleep  I miss them already. By the time we came Home i realized I had done more in a week than what I have done the past three months . So thanks mom and dad for all the hard work and planning we could not have done it without your help. And to all my family I love you and can't wait till we get all together again!!

The Patty Wagon Mom hurt her ankle and doctors orders had her wear a boot the keep it from getting swollen so dad brought this little wagon it eventually became the hit  with the boys.

How funny is this me and bree are on the same wavelengths or something I bought this suit for evia months ago and bree just bought one just like it for coco and my mom bought a polka dot pink one for evia and bree also had the same pink suit for coco. How weird is that.
