Summer Fun in Bear Lake

The anticipated short trip to Bear Lake is already over! Every year Kurt and I try and go up to get in some good boating time with my aunt Becky and her family. This year however we smartened up and got us our own little one room condo for two nights. We camped the first year we were married, which I vow to never do again, driven up for just the day the next year, bummed in a room with my mom and grandma last year, and finally got our own this year. It was well worth the money, especially with a two year old.

We left early early Friday morning and got a full day on the lake both Friday and Saturday! There is something that I love about Bear Lake or more like the raspberry shakes. The lake is so blue and so huge. Maybe it's the memories from fun trips down with the Terry's in high school, and the new memories we create with family.

Here is my hubby doing what he does best on the water. He is such a water bug and makes everything look so easy.

So with a hubby that can do what's pictures above this year I was determined to do three things....
1. Get up on one ski, I've never been able to actually get up on one. I have dropped in the past but that's all.
2. Get up on the dang air chair.
3. Get up on our wake skate.
I can now say CHECK to all three! I have to say I was most proud to get up on one! And I stayed up until I was done. The air chair was quite the experience. I screamed the entire time because it takes you where ever it wants. No pictures to prove anything but this one of me screaming on the air chair that my aunt Becky was able to snap. We were also able to get my Grandma out on the boat, which was a first in a long time!

Here are lots of pictures of fun times! We had some beach volleyball games going, a lost wedding ring of a friend (and yes by some miracle Conner found it in the water), botchi (?) ball games, and good conversation on the beach.

Pictures with family...

and some fun on the boat...

Ethan spent lots of time on the beach with Becky playing, while Kurt and I took all my cousins out on the boat! My little guy has some major OCD problems with the sand. He does not like to be dirty and would take about thirty minutes to actually get off his chair and want to touch the sand. Even then it was back to the chair super fast. He definitely got mom's "not wanting to be dirty" gene in him. I don't think I could pass that one off on Kurt.

And here is what happens to a two year old when he is completely exhausted. This was a short walk back from the beach...he was out cold!

We had tons of fun, yummy shakes, great pizza, and most of all fun times with my extended family! Thank you Snyder's and Grandma and Sharon for the fun times.
