Friends at Bear Lake

A few weeks ago we took some friends with us to Bear Lake.  Susan and Mark Heiner came up with  us on Friday night.  We got there in time to start a fire, set up camp, and get our tin foil dinners started.  We were sitting around the fire when a huge gust of wind camp up from the lake and two seconds later it looked like this. . .

 It was so pretty.  The blue water looked extra turquoise against the dark purple sky.  It looked like we were at the ocean. The waves were ginormous. There were some people kayaking and I was kind of jealous we didn't have the wave runners out quite yet.

It wasn't long before it started pouring. Sue and Mark's tent blew over. We grabbed our dinners and headed for the trailer. We enjoyed playing games and hanging out while we watched the thunderstorm. We re-arranged sleeping arrangements. We tried making a bed for Hunter in the shower, but that kind of freaked him out. Luckily we had two engineers with us and Mark and Dayton figured out a way to put Hunter's pack-n-play in the bathroom. We took the bedroom and Mark and Sue were able to sleep out in the kitchen area. We were actually pretty lucky everyone else couldn't come Friday because I don't know how we all would have fit in the trailer. We had a blast with the Heiners that night.

 On Saturday, the weather cleared up and it was the most perfect day! We got up, and made breakfast. We got the wave runners out and then the Melchers came up. We enjoyed hanging out down at the beach, riding wave runners, building sand castles, kayaking, and playing in the water.

 We were kind of sad we didn't get to roast marshmallows the night before so when we had lunch, we decided to roast smores too. Way not right? Mark was pro at keeping the fire going.

After lunch, the boys enjoyed  bocci ball and ladder 

golf tournaments. 

Of course, Will had to join in with the boys. This little guy can't get enough of balls. I'm sure he was a great help.

Hunter enjoyed the sand toys.

June was a great help in building the sand castle.

This is as far as we got with the castle. I think I may have been a little more excited about it then the kids, must have been that inner child in me coming out. I love building sand castles

 Playing in the sand. . . I love June's face in this picture. 

 Hunter absolutely loves the water. He is my little fish and could not get enough of splashing around in the lake.

 Really though? Sorry for all the pictures of Hunter swimming, but he is so dang cute!

Oh how I LOVE Hunter's little curls. Can't get enough.

My two all time favorite boys. Watching them play and wrestle is probably one of my favorite things. Grateful for wonderful Bear Lake and great friends!
