Once there, Kyle dives into the fun of Bear Lake.
Jace has a plan... by the end of our vacation, there was another set of boy-made "rivers" and "lakes" right here.
This is so splashin' fun!
Good food...
Water, water, water...
... and a birthday, what more can you ask for? (This is a dutch oven Pineapple Upside-Down Cake - Mmm!)
Jace and his cousins... You guys aren't tired yet, are you?!
Hey big brother, whatcha doin'? Whatcha doin'? Okay, we'll do that, too. 
Kyle's got the "open wide" down. Grandma's trying to keep up - How was that mouth again, Kyle? Oh, yup, that's the one!
We went to a Campfire Program our last evening here, and they asked for all the cub scouts to come up and lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Up went Jace and 2 of his cousins. The man in the long red pajamas told a story about "Old Ephraim", the last grizzly bear in Utah. The boys were lost in the story. Here, they are having a "Roar Like a Bear" contest.
Tons of sand for making "cloopie towers"...
Giggles and Smore's with the best of cousins around the campfire...
Water, water, water...
Horshoes... by the way, if you can't see Jared's horshoe he threw, I circled it.
... and a birthday, what more can you ask for? (This is a dutch oven Pineapple Upside-Down Cake - Mmm!)
Kyle has an idea...
Going, going...
...Gone.
Jace and his cousins... You guys aren't tired yet, are you?!
Lance loves Kyle
Hey big brother, whatcha doin'? Whatcha doin'? Okay, we'll do that, too.
Lance and Kyle share a laugh
You haven't seen, or tasted, the fun of Bear Lake if you haven't had one of their shakes (I was going to say, "Raspberry Shakes, but the raspberries are shipped in, and ever since I learned that, I have not been able to bring myself to order a "Bear Lake Raspberry Shake", knowing that. This year, my pregnant tastes took over, and I invented a shake - Banana Blueberry Cheesecake. It may sound wierd, but this particular flavor completely satisfied my craving for a yummy shake. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Martin!

holy cow! that looks like a BLAST!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like tons of fun. Did you all go camping together for the fourth of July? Wish we were there with you. We are going to our favorite place in Idaho this weekend....Red Rish Lake.
ReplyDeleteBear lake looked so much fun. We get to go this weekend and I'm so excited. Water water water....thats all we need to make these boys happy :-)
ReplyDeleteFun, fun and still more fun. I think you guys have great family tradition!
ReplyDeleteWhat adventures! I don't think I've ever been to Bear Lake. Odd. I've lived in Utah long enough that you'd think I would have gotten there at least once. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteYour boys look like they're having a fun time - great kids.
How cool Jace is in a magazine. He can now say that he's been a model. That's great trivia for 20 years from now.:}
