Boys' Adventures at Bear Lake

Every year we have a vacation up at Bear Lake.  Brad's grandparents are super generous and rent out condos and a beach house at Ideal Beach.  We were planning to head up the afternoon I landed in the hospital.  Brad's parents were kind enough to take our boys' with them.  
They played on the beach, swam in the lake, played mini golf, went to the playground and had days of fun with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.  I'm grateful that they didn't have to miss out, even though Brad and I were unable to take them.

Bear Lake Part 3

It is so much fun to go up to Bear Lake with our family!

Matt can hold on even when Doug is giving him a crazy ride. I said that he'd caught a lot of air and Parker asked, "Caught air? Where did he put it?" Ha, ha, what a funny kid!
Parker and I took a ride on the tube too.

Wipe out!

Grandma had bought too many mini golf tickets the previous day, so we golfed again.

Unfortunately there was a "plague" going around up at Bear Lake. Almost everyone there ended up with the stomach flu at some point; Lame! Luckily we didn't get it until the night we got home. Oh well, at least it was a short 12-hour kind.

Bear Lake Part 2

Every year up at Bear Lake we are assigned a few meals to prepare. This year we made Hawaiian haystacks for our dinner and pancakes and eggs for our breakfast. Here are Eric and Brad cooking breakfast.
After breakfast we head to the beach! Parker would jump right in the cool water. The water was so much higher than it's been in years-since 1997. There were still some long grass growing under the water, but as long as the water stays high, they should be gone soon.
I made my kids wear their puddle jumpers on the beach.
Isabelle, Jackie and Parks
Thankfully GG took a lot of photos. I got most of mine from her, Jackie and Jen.
Will
Grandma always rents a couple of wave runners for one of the days we're there.
Brad and I
Parker and Grandpa (he took rides with both Mom and Dad too)
Jason and Mommy (he's into single-digit speeds)
A bunch of us walked out to the end of the little marina and then swam the couple hundred yards to the beach.
Christian and Liesel
Kenzie, Kim and Courtney
Adam brought up his awesome rocket launcher toy. Everyone loved it! Here are the kids waiting in line. (I love Jason's face!)
Parker could really make it fly high.
Isabelle putting on the rocket.
Jas would just barely tap it and it would barely pop of off-too funny.
You can hear the breeze, but this is still a cute video of the kids launching their rockets.
Parker loves mini golf!

He would sometimes try to hit it and other times just pick it up and drop it in the hole.

After dinner we went on a little bike ride.

Will looks big enough to ride this trike (even though he just turned one the month before).
