Bear Lake 2010

Bear Lake. The name makes me smile. I can only remember one summer in my whole life that we didn't go to Bear Lake for a week, and it was because we went to Sacramento to see Tyler and Summer. Even then, we planned a full day at Bear Lake to try to make up for it. Something about that place just makes the world disappear. As a kid, I loved playing in the water and sand. As a teenager, I loved the hot tub after dark full of teenage boys. As an adult, I love forgetting the world and relaxing.

We had a great time this year, take a look:

Mmmm...

We've practically lived on these this summer. Nothing says happy birthday like chocolate strawberries, especially when they say "Happy Bday" :)

July...Sort of

I know we celebrated the 4th. We ran the annual 5K, had a BBQ with family, went to the local parade and fireworks. It's just that I don't have access to the pictures that prove it. So take my word for it, we celebrated.

After the fourth we celebrated again with Tanner's birthday. EIGHT! I can hardly believe it. It was a week long celebration with a family party right on his birthday (brunch complete with cupcakes ;)), dinner out at his favorite place (Golden Corral....I hate having no say on the birthday dinner choice).

Then he waited to celebrate with friends until McKayla got home from Texas. Nothing like climbing, bouncing, skating, scootering (my new word).
