Bear Lake

Once a year we go to Bear Lake and I love it! We go with my Dad's brother, Tom, and his family.

We stay at a nice cabin and rent jet skis! This year we also rented a boat for a few hours and went tubing. My first time! I hung on pretty well til we hit some super choppy water and then I flew off! Hurt my back a little bit, but it was still fun. We bought Emma a life vest so she went out on both a little bit. Super slow and close to the beach on the jet ski. She loved riding around in the boat. But when I went to climb onto the tube she said,"no! sit down!" I guess she was worried about me! :)

*On the jet ski with Uncle Grandpa (Tom)*

*She was afraid of the sand so these kinds of pictures were few and far between. And usually when she realized where she was she would cry  til somebody picked her up!*

*Abby just chilled on the blankets and slept most of the beach time. She wasn't a huge fan of the water.*

*Grandma chillin at the beach*

*Daddy waiting for his turn on a jet ski*

*Uncle Nate and his girlfriend IsaBelle*

*Emma really LOVED the swimming aspect of the trip. She enjoyed being out in the water. And especially floating around on this tube with Daddy*

*Abby sleeping! I was cold after jet skiing*

*Getting ready to go through Minnetonka Cave!*

*Emma had a hard time in the cave cuz the guide kept stopping to tell us stuff and she just wanted to run through it as fast as she could. There were a lot of stairs that we had to carry her on... and I was exhuasted by the end of it!*

*She realized where she was and had thrown her purple bucket away from her and was stuck."

It was pretty crazy busy at the beach. That empty sand in front of Emma in the picture was right in front of our stuff. Some lady tried to set up a tent on it and my Aunt Jana told her she was in our spot (cuz she was at first) and the lady proceeded to tell her that she needed to be there cuz she had kids that needed to be by the water and so we should move. I was like "uhhh can't you see my kid??" and we'd had people there saving our spot for two hours... pretty sure we'd earned it :) Anyway, when her husband finally showed up he came over and started to get mad at Logan for yelling at his wife, Logan was like "what?? I haven't said a word to your wife." People can get pretty worked up about nothing. It was pretty funny. The guy finally walked away when my cousin's husband, Sean (he's a big tough guy), told him it was him and not Logan and the guy just took off... cracked us up.

Anyway, so we packed up and left in a hurry. We left my keys at the cabin and Tom found them. I have a thing of pepper spray on them and it looks like a little flashlight. Sean was trying to figure out what it was and sprayed himself... when they told me it sure cracked me up :)
