Bear Lake

The weekend of the 4th of July, we headed up to Bear Lake with Paul's sister Maria, and her kids.  We left Thursday night and just set up camp there.  Friday we hung out at the lake and swam and played with the kids.  The lake itself was freezing, so I would only go out if I was sitting on a tube above the water.  The kids had a blast with Uncle Paul.  He took them out to see the fish, and created an Island with them out off the shore a bit.  The lake this year has been REALLY REALLY high, I tried to take some pics to show how high, but unless you've been there it will be hard to tell....

 The trees are out in the water...before there was a nice long shore after the trees

More trees out in the water

Here is some pictures of the kids having a fun time!

 Jamus is probably up to something sneaky!

Maria out in the raft with the kids...everyone is on a raft because the water is freezing!!

We went over to Garden City one day to enjoy some "famous" milkshakes.  Paul and I shared an Oreo one, because they are very large.  The "famous" ones are the raspberry shakes, but we aren't big fans.  We also walked around a little and checked out some shops.  Only one pic of doing this, we are gross and sunburnt, but here is a pic...

Bear Lake was a blast, we are so glad we could spend some time with Maria and her kids while they were up.  They live in Arizona, so we don't get to see them very much!!
