More adventures in Bear Lake…

Thanks goodness for the cabin.  Our summer would’ve been a real bore without it.  This past weekend we invited my mom and sister, plus Mike and his family to Bear Lake.  Here are some highlights from the trip:

Eric and I celebrated our 11th anniversary!  P1080339

We played some fun games.  We are loving Settlers of Catan lately, and we tried Headbands.  We taught Owen how to play Settlers and none of us were very happy to get beaten by him on his first try.  Boo. David was the funniest at Headbands.  He just loved being included.  Ellie kept cheating and looking at her reflection in the window so she could win.

We did some boating and swimming at the beach.  The beach was kind of disappointing.  It’s not as beautiful as it used to be, but the kids still played in the water and built sand castles.  David was especially good at decorating our castle.  He did a lovely job.

Almost everyone tried the tube, and swam in the water.  Jeremy wake-boarded.  Ellie had a 40 min turn on the tube and wouldn’t get off!  Eric finally had to dump her…

Sometimes at the cabin, you just have to have a nap.

We also celebrated Olivia’s 17th birthday this weekend.  Happy Birthday Livi!

Each year in honor of Shark Week, Jeremy makes a cake.  This year there was a little extra frosting, so this is what we did…
