Bear Lake Trip #2, August

We got the chance to return to Bear Lake for 5 days in August, and we jumped all over it! We went with Kelly, Kristy, & Killian. It was such a great trip, we had enough time there that we actually got some time to relax (Imagine that?)
Kierra didn't get to go with us because it was the first week of school, and she had a Mandatory practice for Twisters (the cheer group she LOVES) She stayed with Grandpa & Grandma Faulk, and was ready for us to come home, I guess she loves us more than she likes to admit!
Killian and Alyse did some cousin bonding on this trip, Alyse became softer and gentler with him, and he did everything he could to keep up with her (like warp speed army crawling) it was such a great trip!
After three years of boating I finally tried wakeboarding, and I totally bombed at it! It was just more realization that my kids are FAR more coordinated than me, they make it look so easy, but after many tries, and feeling like my arms were being pulled out of their sockets, I gave up. I just have to say, it is a good thing I tried it in a lake as clean as Bear Lake, because I probably downed a gallon of water with all the crashing!!


This was our condo at Ideal Beach, it was nice, very seventies, with no AC, but it was a really fun place to stay, they have nice grounds, and pools and jacuzzi's for those chilly bear lake nights!

Alyse, LOVING the beach!


Look at that face! Such gorgeous blue eyes!!

Hat and life jacket.....she is ready to go!


Though I can't wakeboard, it was a record breaking trip for Dalton. He has always had Kim in the water helping him get up, but when he went down, and Kim was really far away, we convinced him to give it a try without Dad, and he popped up on the first try! It was amazing!



Alyse was so fascinated by Killian's binkies, and we found one in the glove box from last summer, so she had to sit with Killy and put it in her mouth. She doesn't suck on it, she just bites it!
More beach time, she liked the seagulls!


Sibling love! They sure look related don't they?
