Bear Lake!

 We went to Bear Lake for our last summer trip last weekend!
It was my first time to Bear Lake and Brandon's second and we LOVED it!
We think we will try to go every year we loved it so much!!
The kids while we were setting up!

 I cannot get enough of this little face!


 Macy has decided that soda is her favorite!!
This black cherry soda ended up more on her shirt than in her mouth!
We ended up throwing the shirt away! I figured after 4 days of camping it probably wouldn't come out in the wash!

We had a friend that was at Bear Lake just before we got there and she said the South side wasn't all that good, so we headed to the North side and we were so glad we did!
It was about 15-20minutes from the KOA and in St. Charles, Idaho and perfect!
The beach was about 2miles wide and it was shallow forever out into the water which was perfect for us!
Macy could have stayed at the beach all day!! She loved that she could be so independent!!
Cute bathing beauty!!
 She wanted to try on Lily's goggles!
 Brandon, Tyson and Lily heading far out to the waist deep to float and play!
 We bought this dinosaur floaty for Macy, but Lily loved it and Macy didn't want anything to do with it so it worked out great!
 Brandon got his bum stuck on a sandbar!!
 Macy and I hung out in the super shallow parts!
 Macy ate soooo much dirt, sand, sticks, rocks... anything she could she ate!
 It was a busy weekend, but we still had plenty of room with the beach being so big and shallow!
 Another view!
 Brandon and I took turns floating with the kids!
 Cute Lily with her floaties and tube...she wasn't going to drown!
 Tyson chillin'
 In the "Hot Tub" another family made!
The water was really quite warm!
The sand castle we made!
We spent about 4 hours the first day at the beach!
 We got back to the KOA, showered and took a family bike ride on this beauty!!
 Tyson was so embarrassed to be on this bike riding thru town!
He is only 6 and we already embarrass him! I love it!!
 Macy and Lily in the bike basket!! 
Ahh cute!!
 The KOA had a jumping pillow that the kids did each night!
Tyson wanted this picture to show him laying on the biggest pillow he has ever laid on!!


 They did "train" rides each night and the kids LOVED it!
 The second day we again went to the North Beach, but we went to the end which was a "private beach" that we could drive onto. It cost the same as the public beach and it was attached to the public beach, but we went there so we could rent a sea doo!
We got there at 10:30 and people were already there, but not many...yet!
 Tyson and Brandon were renting the sea doo while the girls and I played in the water!
 Brandon and I took turns taking the kids out on the sea doo. Lily liked it, but not for that long. Tyson LOVED it especially when Brandon let him drive it himself!
We had the sea doo for 2 hours and stayed at the beach for about 5 hours that day!
 Macy playing in the water while we were packing up!
 We tried to get souvenirs at this cute little shop by the North beach, but they were closing the first time we tried and they were closed the next time we tried! So we took pictures instead!!
One night we ate dinner at the local Mexican restaurant, we tried their "famous" raspberry shakes, and had an awesome time! We were all sad to go home!

How fun. It almost makes me want to go camping....almost. I haven't been to bear lake in years. I hear its fun though. Maybe we can borrow Erics parents motor home and go. Cause I'm not a tent person. Not an rv person either. Ha ha. I miss you guys so much!

It's been awhile since I've read your blog! You've been busy! Love all the places Macy falls asleep, all of Tyson's lost teeth, and congrats on your race! Glad you're getting a chance to run more!
