Vacation: Part II Bear Lake

Bear Lake was such a fun trip for us. It is hard taking your vacation to Utah, those of you who do know what I mean. So that made this trip to Bear Lake extra special. We stayed in a beautiful house on the Idaho side with it's own access to the beach with a variety of beach toys, big and small. We relaxed, played in the sand and water, rode the wave runners, ate our selves silly, played a very fun new game called "Settlement" (I think), played water balloon volleyball, played with cousins, of course had raspberry shakes, and most of all just enjoyed being together without distractions.

The best part of this trip for Mike and I was all our new little nannies we had. Chloe was well taken care of by all her cousins. I think Lexi was a part of Chloe's every waking moments, even the poopy diaper changes. Devon, he was our finisher. Who knew there was a nine year old out there who loves baby food? No kidding. Every time we fed Chloe, Devon wanted to either try it or finish what she didn't eat. He was cheering her on when she would not eat everything. I know what Devon is getting from Chloe for Christmas this year :)

The only problem with this trip is it was over much too soon. Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for such a fun trip!

This is the house we stayed in and it's for sale if you know anyone interested. It was beautiful! I wish we had some spare change.


This is one of the many supervised meal times for Chloe. Our supervisors are Lauren and Maddie this shift. Devon is lurking in the shadows waiting for the left overs.

Playing with Devon on the floor. Chloe won't stop talking about it. She misses all the attention and entertainment her cousins provided. Mom and Dad are just not that much fun.

The boys. Jason and Devon are getting so tall and Mike looks like he might be shrinking (sorry babe). This picture is courtesy of our budding photographer, Lexi. She was having fun with taking pictures of everyone with our camera. We did get some fun pictures from the over 100 pictures she took. I love digital cameras!

Just enjoying a few minutes in the breeze at the pavilion after lunch with Grandpa and Grandma (that's Devon in the background). We miss you! Come visit us very soon.

Mmmmmmmmmmm Bear Lake Raspberry Shake. Although we heard the raspberry crop froze this year and it is very likely this shake was made with raspberries shipped in from California. It was yummy where ever they were from.

Aunt Amy and Chloe. Thanks for playing with me and come visit us in Baltimore very soon. Fall is lovely and you need a break, right?

Well it is late and someone wakes up early. I will have to post more pictures later.
