Bear Lake

Every year my family and Nelson's family both plan family trips to Bear Lake. We love it up there. My parents are both from the Bear Lake area so I have enjoyed going up there since I was a little kid. The two family vacations usually end up being a week or two weeks apart from each other, but are so different.

The Weston Trip- With the Weston family we usually stuff all 34-40 (depending on who is in town) of us in a Condo and have a blast. We spend lots of time playing out on the grass, at the park, in the pool and at the beach. This year also included a mean game of hockey on the basketball courts and many hours of bike riding. It is just such a relaxing time hanging out with the family. So thankful for all the fun memories we are able to create with our families. Here are some fun highlights from the trip:











Max & Asher spend most their time doing crazy tricks on the diving board












Asher playing around & Nelson training for his triathlon










My sisters and I Asher and his funny faces












Max, Logan & Skyler playing on the boat

Bowen Trip-
with the Bowen family we go with all the Shurtleff family. As expected we always have a great time on our Bear Lake trips. Who does not enjoy being in the sun and playing all day.
This year with the Bowens there was a bit of excitement. A bunch of the kids were out on the sail boat with Uncle Kirt when it tipped over. All the men jumped in the Kayaks and headed out to rescue the kids. Most of the kids kept their cool while others were in the water crying their eyes out. Max and Asher on the other hand thought it was the coolest thing in the world.
We had a great time with kayak races, skiing along the beach, digging swimming pools for all the frogs that were caught and just laughing around the fire. Here are a few pictures:

This was the first time in a long time the whole Bowen family was able to come. We took family pictures while we were up there. The sun was not to kind on my eyes and the wind did not do miracles for my hair.
