On the week before the 4th of July this year we headed to Bear Lake with Eric’s family. We spent most of the week boating and swimming in the lake. Ellie and John loved jumping off the boat into the freezing water any chance they got. The water was a bit too cold for David to enjoy, but he gave it a shot. I’m glad that they don’t have my fear of water! All three of them rode the tube and loved it.
One morning we got up and hiked out to Bloomington Lake. It’s such a beautiful place. The older boys jumped off the rope swing while the kids explored. On the hike out our boys were so tired that they cried and had to be carried by Bryan and Corey. Luckily, by the time we got back to the cabin they were recovered and ready for more boating.
Here are the boys tubing with Corey.
Ellie’s turn! (Probably the longest turn in the history of tubing…)
Some Spectacular Tricks by Bryan, Corey, and Justin. (in that order…)
Sometimes when you go boating you get tired and have to snug with Mom and Grandma.

The rope swing is always a favorite.
On the actual 4th, we went to the West Point Parade and then had a BBQ with my side of the family. The kids were so cute in their 4th of July gear. It was a good day.
