Bear Lake

We usually go camping Labor Day weekend, but decided not to this year. I have been wanting to go to Bear Lake for a couple of years. A friend has property there and invited us a couple summers ago to come with her. The girls had a blast in the sand. So when Jen invited us again to come spend the day with them, we gladly accepted. After sleeping in, we got there about lunchtime. It was a struggle to get Addyson to eat, she was ready for the sand. In fact, while I was getting her lunch ready, she stripped off to her swimsuit. We walked to the lake and ended up spending about 4 hours there. The wind came up not long after we got there, but that did not stop the kids at all. (Notice my hair in the last picture). About the time we were done packing up the sand toys, the wind calmed down, the sun came out and it was nice again. Oh well, we still had a great time. Janae, Addyson and Carter thought it would be great to bury my legs so that I couldn't move. Then it was Janae's turn. The kids played and swam in the water for a long time, even though it was barely warm.

We really miss Maine, especially during the summer, we spent a lot of time at the beach. I've decided that Bear Lake is the closest thing we have to the beaches we miss so much. We will definitely be going back again. Thanks Jen for letting us spend the day with you and your family.
