Bear Lake

In September, we took a four day vacation to Bear Lake and it was WONDERFUL.
I realize that we seem to repeat the same vacations over and over (Jackson Hole and Bear Lake), but why mess with perfection?

The first thing we did when we got there was to check into our fantastic condo (thanks Dalton's!)

This TV got a lot of use.
The closet on left held a Queen size Murphy bed.


The Master bedroom.


Hailey and Maggie's room.


The view of the lake from the back balcony.


The view of the beautiful hills out the kitchen window.


After we unloaded the car, we headed straight for the lake. We parked at the city park and walked 1/2 mile down the board walk to the lake.
It was late afternoon and we saw some deer on the way.


Isn't it beautiful?.


Headin' for the lake.


My cute kids.



We had so much fun. The shallow part of the lake at this spot was so long.


Maddie girl.


Pretty Hailey.


Beautiful Maggie.


Happy Logan


Hubby Adam.


Me. There has to be some kind of photographic evidence that I was actually on this vacation.


After the lake, Adam took the kids swimming while I made dinner.



After dinner we baked cookies and watched a movie.

Day 2 at the beach.
The down side of going to a resort town like this the week AFTER Labor Day, is that it's basically deserted, and a lot of the shops are closed.

The plus side is that it's basically deserted.
We were the only ones on the beach that day!


Sunshine, a shady spot and a good book. Doesn't get much better than this.


This is tubing without a boat.
Not quite as exciting........


A girl and some gulls.


To honor tradition, we had to bury Adam......
(doesn't he look great in my glasses?)


....and Madison. She bailed after the first shovel full of sand though.



Day 3 was 15-20 degrees colder, so we took advantage of the jetted tub. :)
We went to some little shops and watched movies and read books, and went out to eat at a little Mexican Cafe.
It was heaven.


Day 4 we went to the pool again, cleaned up and headed out. We drove up the hill to takes some pictures before we left.
The Lake is so much bluer in the sunshine.


Of course we had to stop at Smith and Edwards on the way home. Our 30 min intended stop turned into almost 2 hours.

Then we decided to break in our new Trafalga passes.

Hip-hip-hooray for affordable vacations!!!!
