Bear Lake

2 days after we got back from California, Porter and I ventured for an overnight trip to Bear Lake with some of my family from my Dad's side. Paul wasn't able to get off work to go since he had already had a lot of days off from our trip to California. So that was sad. We missed him a lot, but we were still able to have a lot of fun! Natasha and Colby live in Logan now just about a half hour outside Bear Lake so we picked them up on our way up there and they spent the day with us! It was so much fun hanging out with them. It was so much fun swimming and playing in the sand.

My aunt just bought a new boat (from Ed Smart..haha) and we had fun taking it for rides. Porter LOVED it. Natasha and Colby even rode the huge tube.

The water was so incredibly choppy and they were flying everywhere! It was hilarious watching them. It looked like so much fun. I will have to make sure and ride it next year when I am not pregnant. Porter wanted to get on so we pretended to ride it for a little while. :-)
Porter loved playing in my aunts camper. He thought it was the neatest thing ever. For dinner we had tin foil dinners...yummy..my favorite!!
Then after dinner we made these delicious treats by the fire called 'cinnamon surprise'. My aunt made them up and they are so yummy!! You get some of those Pillsbury biscuit tubes of dough. You grab a piece of dough and flatten it out a little. You then put some marshmallows in the center of it and some chocolate chips on top of those. Then you roll everything up into a dough ball. You roll your whole ball in cinnamon and sugar and roast it over the fire until golden brown. DELICIOUS! You should try it sometime! :) Here's Porter playing on the cot with the dog while everyone else was roasting marshmallows! :)
That night was Porter's first time ever sleeping in the tent. He fell asleep quickly but didn't sleep so well that night..poor kid. He kept waking up every couple of hours. And then he got up for the day at 6:00. He was a funny boy dancing all around the tent when he woke up..haha, probably lack of sleep. Since everyone was still asleep, we got dressed and headed back down to the beach. It was so relaxing, cool and peaceful in the morning down there. We were the only ones there.


I absolutely love Bear Lake. We have been going every year since I was about 1 years old. It is such a beautiful lake and I have so many fun memories there. So glad I could spend some time with my little guy up there.
