Bear Lake

Two weeks ago we went to Bear lake with 4 other families from our ward.  The Gardners were so nice to put us all up at their BEAUTIFUL cabin.  It was so much fun.

Here's Wilby in his baby pool at the beach.....

He's such a cute little CHUBBA!




.....And the Jeffaroni......

And CJ
 ..............they were all in HEAVEN!!

 SANDCASTLE TIME!   My FAVORITE!!!

Here was our creation.....this was actually the second day this castle survived. 

Some MUCH NEEDED R&R for Jeff.  Seriously....we haven't done much but work/school/and KIDS for a YEAR!!!

Out on the BOAT!!!  (Thanks Gardners)  Both Jeff and I got to wakeboard and I even got to SKI!  Hooray....it was so so much fun.  And it really made us want a boat....very badly.

 Jeff on the wake board.....

 Me on the wakeboard........

Bear Lake is so so Beautiful.  Its TURQUOISE!! But its a little Chilly.   Didn't stop our kids.  They're FISH!!  (just like their mom and dad =) )

Here we are starting up the trail on our hike to(what my kids now call)"THE MAGIC TREE"

Here are the kids "waitin' it out!"  We got hailed on.  It didn't last long so it was kind of funny. Thanks to beautiful mother nature for providing some great shelter =)

This is my FAVORITE PICTURE OF THE WHOLE TRIP. 

So CUUUUUTE.  Love that little Wilby!

 

Here is Jeffy climbing a VERY LARGE dead tree.  Oh and don't worry he had to JUMP off of it too.

 

Jeffy and Brooklyn Alfrey on this weird tree!!  COOL but so weird!

Jeff n' the kids at the MAGIC TREE.

Its actually 5 trees that grew together.

We told the kids it is the home to 1. Smurfs  2. Fairies and 3. cookie making elves

aren't we such FANTASTIC PARENTS FOR LYING TO OUR CHILDREN.   hahaha!

It was an awesome 3 day little Vacation. 

The kids survived all sleeping in the same room..........

and Caitlyn EVENTUALLY forgave us for making her miss Library/Art/Computer day at KINDERGARTEN. 

And....the RASBERRY MILKSHAKES are to DIE FOR!!
