Bear Lake Trip

Though we had a move coming up, we felt it was still a priority to go to Bear Lake this year and be with our family.  Christian has wanted to go to a beach ever since he played the Curious George “Building a Sandcastle” game on www.pbskids.com.  This year was fun as we stayed at someone’s house that we borrowed and then had a private beach to play on.

The first day with all of the packing for both the move and the lake slowed us down a lot. We didn’t arrive at the lake until about 1 pm and then we ate lunch and headed down to the beach for some sun and sand (and wind).

At one point he took his water socks off and was afraid to get out of the water because he didn’t want to get his feet dirty.

We told him to go test it out…but he decided to go find some different people to chill with…. I think I need find a way to emphasize stranger danger!  At least he’s not shy?!

My cousin Carly graced us with some tunes.

Christian figured out a way to get as much sugar in his body as possible!

The second day it rained quite a bit and so we hung around the house for a while and then some of the group went to the hot tub.  I stayed at the house so that I wouldn’t poach my stomach.

After lunch we all watched Sandlot and then pretty much everyone left.  It was a fun year…a little different  than the others but I’m glad we came.  Who knows if we’ll be able to go for a couple of years!?!  It’s nice to be part of a family that though we have some differences basically have the same beliefs which will hopefully help install good beliefs in Christian.  Plus I hope he can see that it’s fun to get to know his extended family as well.
