Bear Lake Part One July 9, 2010
Posted by Emily in : Family, Parenthood, Photography, Thoughts, Trips, Utah , trackbackMy extended family had a wonderful vacation together at Bear Lake, which is about four hours away on the border of Utah and Idaho.
We rented an eight bedroom beach house to accommodate seven families which equated to 28 people. It was a lot like being in a nice hotel with lots of common area to move around in, but at the end of the day, you share a room with your kids which is not my favorite way to sleep. I seriously don’t know how kids can share a room. I mean, I shared a room growing up for several years (probably until I was 12, then I got my own room) but I don’t know how anyone gets any sleep when two little people in the same room don’t sleep the exact amount of hours! I know I have great sleepers, and I’m talking about how one child sleeps 11 hours and one sleeps 13 hours, so some of you are throwing eggs at your monitor reading about my sleeping woes while on vacation, but seriously, Dallin really needs his extra two hours of beauty rest!
Hannah LOVED the beach. Why wouldn’t she? She’s from the Caribbean! The water was a nippy 50 degrees (or less!) and the weather only topped 75 degrees (too cold for my blood!) but she loved every minute of it just like she did two years ago when my family went on this very same vacation.
She was very busy making sand castles and watching her uncle Brent go in and out of the water doing various water sports.
Oh. My. Heck. I could just kiss her face off.
Dallin on the other hand . . . hated the sand and the freezing cold water!
Do you see this chair he’s sitting in? He did not get off this chair for SIX HOURS.
Yes. You read that right. SIX WHOLE HOURS. This is where he ate, jumped, socialized, and took a two hour nap on my lap.
Making sure my kid was safe at the beach was a no-brainer for me in this great baby-sitting-chair. :)
This is Katie and Hannah. Hannah thinks she is 12.
This is one of my nephews, Luke.
Brent and his sailboat.
This is another nephew, Aaron.
This is my niece Becky learning how to windsurf.
Hello Brent.
This is Hannah and Becky on their canoe adventure.
David missed this day at the beach, but Hannah sure had fun with her “too many friends” anyway.

I have only been to Bear Lake once. It’s so pretty up there.
The second picture of Hannah makes me want to snuggle and kiss the little back of her neck. So sweet. She sure is adorable.
