We spent this last Thursday-Saturday up at Bear Lake with my family. All the siblings were there except Tanya and Nelson and their boys, we missed you guys!
Thursday night we got in late, so we basically set up the tents and went to bed. Well, except for Adelia. She screamed most of that night. Sorry campers.
Friday we woke up and had a nice breakfast, played in the water right next to our tent site for a little bit, and then headed down shore a little to where there was more sand. Kyle and Kelsey borrowed two jet skis from Kelsey's parents. We all took turns going out on those, while those not riding sat on the beach and played in the sand, snacked, and watched the kiddos.

Friday night we came back to camp and had an awesome dutch oven dinner. Then we sat around the fire, roasted S'mores and chatted. A little later we eat a dutch oven caramel apple dessert to celebrate Tanner's birthday. Adelia slept from 8pm-8am and totally redeemed herself.
Adelia's makeshift high chair.
Adelia's sandy goatee. I'm afraid she ate a lot of sand this trip.
Penny
The sand was a big hit with the kids.
Ivan and Lincoln let Uncle Kyle and Aunt Stephanie bury them in the sand several times.
Saturday morning we got up and ate a quick breakfast and then started taking down camp. We had to be out by 2pm so we wanted everything packed up before we went back out on the lake.
This is our campsite. Our tent is the tanish green one furthest away. The person is me.
If I were to turn around in the picture before this, this is a picture of the view I would have. We were really close to the lake.
Kyle throwing rocks in the lake.
Lincoln throwing sticks in the lake.
We all got a little sun burned on Friday, so on Saturday we were kind of sunned out. But luckily Mom and Kerry and brought a canopy for the adults and a sports tent for the kids. So there was some shade. We had hoagie sandwiches for lunch, and had fun taking turns on the jet skis.
I love this picture of Penny playing in the sand.
She was supposed to be taking a nap...
Lincoln's favorite thing to do was to go out of the boogie board and swim with Aaron. Aaron and Kirk liked to dive down to look for fish.
My brothers: Jackson, Kyle, and Tanner. What a bunch of studs.
Gramma Tam and Ivan Boy. Ivan LOVED the jet ski. I was so surprised. When we were on it he'd say "Go faster, faster!"
Kyle and Tman out with Tessie (the red jet ski)
Juicy B on Bruce (the blue jet ski). I was so happy Jackson came up for the trip. I haven't seen him in awhile.
My brothers
Linc. He didn't really like riding on the jet ski, at least not the going fast part or the jumping part. He only wanted to go slow and look for fish.
Adelia didn't get to ride on the jet ski, but she was pretty happy in the sand.
Jackson, Brooke (Jack's girlfriend), and Kelsey catchin' some rays.
Gramma Tam and Papa Kerry with Penny and Isla.
Aaron went out on the jet ski with Bryan, and this is his crazy after hair.
Penny, Bryan, Tanner, Lincoln, Aaron, and Ivan, with the sandcastle they made.
After we left Saturday afternoon, we went to Mom and Kerry's house in Hooper for a hamburger dinner. Tanya and Nelson and their boys came over for a little while, so we were able to get a picture of all the grandkids together. We stayed the night, and half of Sunday in Hooper so we could spend time with everyone before Bryan and Emily had to go back to San Diego.
Burke, Graham, Ivan, Adelia, Penny, Isla, and Lincoln. All the grandkids on the Lemmon/Sparks side.
We had such a great trip. I think we should make it an annual thing. Any takers?
