Spring Break in Bear Lake

We left for Bear Lake on Sunday afternoon. I told the kids they could bring their DS's but we were not going to watch a movie for the short three hour trip.

Boy what was I thinking.

I think that Hattie asked us at least 50 times if we were there yet!! We got to the condo and the kids immediately went swimming while we got settled in and started cooking dinner.

{Our decision to go to Bear Lake was based on not wanting to drive forever, and we knew there was an indoor pool}

So mainly our trip involved YUMMY food, GAMES, SWIMMING, more FOOD, even more GAMES, a few Movies (ok a lot of movies), some reading, did I mention Food??

It was wonderful to just sit back and relax. We had a great time.

There was a little closet that the little kids had fun playing in.

I think Brock turned into a fish while we were gone. He had a great time playing in the pool with his cousins.

Logan had a great time splashing and playing in the water too.

Even Andrew loved playing in the water.

One afternoon all of the bigger kids {including Russ and Nathan} had races across the pool.

First the bigger kids would carry a littler kid across the pool,

then a little kid would try their best to carry a big kid across the pool.

We had some good laughs.

This is our favorite game. Settlers of Catan and Seafarers of Catan.

I think we played at least 6-7 times. Nathan came out with the most wins-

but we all got a win in at one point.

Then this is a funny little story. We were preparing dinner one night and I had cut up some cucumbers. Well Logan asked for one and so I put the bowl where he could reach it. Then I one of the kids came by and started laughing. I wondered what they were laughing at and then I looked at his plate.

He had taken one bite out of each cucumber and then neatly placed them around his plate.

I guess I should be glad that he atleast got some veggies in him right??

It was pretty funny.

What a funny boy.

We can't wait until our next vacation. Hopefully it will be warmer and we can spend a little more time outside in the sun.
