We had a magical weekend at Bear Lake in the middle of August- right before school started! After going through all the emotions with Grandma's funeral right before, it ended up being perfect timing for us to all be together and make fun memories together.
We stayed at the cabin of one of my dad's friends. He built it with his own two hands and just finished it. It was so beautiful and big enough to fit us all comfortably. We already have plans to go back again next year!
We spent lots of time down on their little private beach. We did lots of paddle boarding (Hudson and Nora were the paddle boarding champs!) and some kayaking. Lots of splashing around and digging huge holes in the sand. We spent hours there every day and it was just beautiful!
Every night we played games- which made for lots and lots of laughs. Telestrations was our favorite and even the tiny girls got involved and had a great time (and made it even more hilarious).
The kid was so worn out he was randomly asleep on the couch in the middle of the day.
These guys made a little "clubhouse" for quiet time.
Dad brought up his four wheeler and spent a lot of time giving kids rides. Chase, who isn't a huge beach fan, was especially delighted with rides and got several more rides than anyone else.
We did the puzzles multiple times.
We got shakes at Le Beau's one day and they didn't disappoint. Also- Heidi's had says "Not on Strike Today"- a little nod to her time in Paris and the frustrations with so many strikes happening.
This weekend was just perfect. The weather was dreamy. We laughed a lot and relaxed a little and spent so much good quality time together. I especially loved having this time right before school started and life got crazy in a different way. I just love my family!
