Bear Lake 2009

We are so grateful to Lynn's boss for letting us use his boat this year for Bear Lake. It spoiled us rotten. Robert was pretty stressed out when he had to help launch the boat but he did great! No scratches, Craig!
It was different this year to be at Bear Lake without Bob and Vickie, Rick and Teressa, Dave and Amy and kids. We missed them. Grandpa, James made sure Lynn flipped the pancakes the way you taught him too and we made Bear Lake toast. We had fun with some one on one time with Lynn's brother Kent and Janie and their kids. We had a blast and was grateful for good weather. This picture is a bike we rented at the Koa in Garden City where we stayed.





All the kids enjoyed the boat, the beach, and the Koa cabin that we stayed at. We hadn't prepped them as good as we should have about the cabin, however, as they commented they thought it was going to be like Rick and Teressa's cabin in Timber Lakes! No, it was a cabin with enough beds for most of us to sleep on, the other two slept on the floor and that was it! It beat tenting it by far and I loved that there weren'tany mosquitos or flies. We had campfires every night which is my favorite.





We had a blast going to the pickleville playhouse play entitled "the Hanging of Bandito" It was hilarious! I didn't get any pictures of it but it was one of our highlights.






This is a random picture of when you get to the end of summer and you are so bored you start dressing up and being more creative! Thank heavens for Joanna who instigated this but is old enough she doesn't have to dress up.

Good luck in the Half. I have only run one, but it was probably my favorite race! You'll do great! And you'll feel great when you accomplish it!

These darling pictures sure make us "homesick" for all of you and for the summer trip to Bear Lake! We are so happy that you had a great time. We always loved Pickelville too...the "bicycle made for 8" looks like great fun! We are so glad you all had a fun get away! We think we will be home for next year's trip...we'll see!
Love, Grandpa and Grandma
