Bear Lake 2011

We had a great time at Bear Lake this year, like we always do!!  We went at the end of July 2011.  The only drawback was all of my sister's family never made it.  Her two older kids were with my parents but her husband, my sister, Andrew, and her new baby London were supposed to fly out and join us.  Unfortunately Ron broke his ankle a day or two before they were supposed to leave and had to have surgery so they never made it.  I did get to see the rest of my family.  My brother Chris wasn't going to be able to come but he fly in from Colorado to be at the baby blessing for London that never ended up happening because they didn' make it!!!  We had really good weather this year and the lake was up really high from where it has been the last few years.  The beach wasn't as far away or groomed as nice as usual.

 This was everyone that was up at Bear Lake for church - my mom, Miriam, Jackson, my dad, me, Cody, Ainsley, and Wesley

 Jackson fell asleep on my brother Steve's lap while we were watching someone wakeboard

 He really is on the wakeboard with Cody - you just can't see the board in the water with all the water splashing up

 Once we were done at Bear Lake we went back to Provo and went to the temple

 After the temple we hit the water park for a few hours - Jackson was having a great time

 Nice group shot at the water park

After the water park we ended the vacation with a traditional dinner at Tucanos - All the adults were there but we didn't get a picture of everyone

As always our Bear Lake trip comes and goes so fast.  I really had a great time but unfortunately sometime midweek I started to feel sick.  I was still able to have fun amidst a little bit of misery.  It was great to see everyone as always and can't wait until next year!!!
