tHerE iS nO pLacE liKe BeaR laKe!!!
we just got back from bear lake yesterday! we had an awesome time. it was freakishly cold weather, but we made the best of it. it is a good thing that papa perry brought up the wii so that the boys would have something fun to do while it stormed. i knew that the beginning of june wouldn't be warm enough to go into the lake, but i didn't expect hail and snow. i didn't know how to pack so i just thew in a bit of everything...needless to say we wore all of our winter clothes.
by the end of the week we were all pretty good at bowling and golf.

only in utah would we be crazy enough to get into a swimming pool at 55 degrees. granted the pool was heated, but the quick jaunt from the pool to the condo was really cold. here is ky in her cute bathing suit. it was the first time that she has been able to wear it...she didn't even get in the pool, even though we were crazy i didn't want her to catch her death! so let me just tell you about my scary moment while swimming, so me and my sis where in the hot tub, wyatt was sitting on the edge and steph (sis) asked me to re-tie her swim suit top. so while i was doing this wyatt jumped into the spa without anyone noticing. so i turn around and all i see is wyatt totally submersed in water with only the very tips of his out stretched hands. i freaked!!! i got to him and lifted him up. he was gasping and coughing so hard. luckily he hadn't been down for too long, but it was long enough to give us both a huge scare! needless to say we didn't leave eachothers sides the rest of the time swimming. i can't even tell you how crappy of a mom i felt i was. i was so guilty, especially seeing that fear and panic that was on his face. it is a look i will never forget!
our last night at bear lake we had to roast marshmellows and make smores. we hadn't done this since the first time we went to the condo four years ago. paxton loved it! he only ate one smore and decided that it was enough but he roasted many a more marshmellows after. ky loved the marshmellows and graham crackers. i know that smores is a traditional camping event and we weren't really "roughing it" but we had such a good time! thanks mom and dad, we always have such a good time when we go with you!
