Bear Lake 2010

We had a few points left of a time share we bought a couple years ago so I looked and saw they had a bear lake location and set it all up. It turned out to be so fun and even made us think we may want to renew our time share. Its so nice having two bedrooms a kitchen and living room while on small vacations with the kids. It also had a indoor and outdoor pool and even a wading pool for paislee. Not to mention how beautiful Bear Lake is. As were driving into town I kept saying I couldn't believe we had never been here before.

The first night the kids wanted to head straight to the pool so dad took some frustrations out after the 4 hr drive and threw them across the pool a couple times=)

It rained really hard the first night we were there so when we were getting the boat ready brian pulled the drain plug and water came pouring out. The picture above is after probably 5 minutes. When we first pulled it the water just shot out. Luckily the next day the sun was shining so we got up early and headed to the lake. The water is so blue there we had a great time tubing and swimming around the lake. Even me. I actually got in the water. With a life jacket and a close eye on the boat, but I did it. Maybe I’m finally conquering my fear of water=)

Brian was the first one in the water. Paislee wasn't a big fan she was happy to be in the boat surrounded by snacks=)

This is me convincing myself to get in the water. I have to admit once I was in it was really fun. The water was around 70 degrees.

There were a bunch of carp fish at the dock the kids thought it was pretty awesome to see fish that close. After we got back to the condo we decided to venture out and get a shake, some chocolate covered raspberries and some famous Bear Lake Jam. I even found those cute little towel dresses for the girls. I can just hear my friends who can sew (you know who you are) saying you could make that. Well I can’t sew so I buy =) It turned out to be a really fun mini vacation I can’t wait to go back.

Mohawk and checker board

We took Brady today to get his first Mohawk from my friend Dawn . He was so excited and loved it. I happened to mention later in the day how his Dad used to give his Uncle Larry checker boards in the back of his head. He was all about that so when dad came home he made Brady really happy.

Northwood Place apartment complex

Brian had to check on something at work so the kids and I got a tour of his job. Its amazing how a large building can be built in just a year. This project is going to be workforce housing apartments.  It was awesome listening to Brian explain to the kids how the job is run and how he puts together punch lists and other things.  I don’t think I even realize how much responsibility he has. Sometimes I take if for granted that he works hard so I  can stay home with the kids. Thanks for all you do babe.
