Bear Lake 1 and Bear Lake 2

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post. Well, we are finally back from our LAST Bear Lake trip. I wanted to put pictures up from our first Bear lake trip before we took off again but didn't find time between re-packing, cleaning the house and Napkin Journals launch party (more on that later). The kids just love it at Bear Lake. James was putting Jace to bed last night (couple of hours after coming home) and Jace asked him if we could go to bear lake in the morning.

Our first trip to Bear Lake was with a big group of our friends. This was the 4th year we have done this, each year it seems to get a little bit bigger (This year we had 9 families join us). It is so much fun to relax at the beach with all your friends. We are already counting down to when we can book our spots for next year!

Who loves Bear Lake??

How could you not love Bear Lake when you have all this....

Friends...

(kaysha and maddie)

Sea shells....

Sand....

Fish...

(I think this is the most disgusting thing EVER!)

Ice cream...

(mmmm... bubble gum ice cream) Water...Family...

(we took a break from the beach to get pizza and ice cream)And did I mention SAND....
(the kids built onto this sand hill for hours)

You will have to check out Cyndi's blog to see the one little accident that happened on our trip, besides that everyone had a great time!!

Our second trip was our annual Jensen bear lake trip. We have been doing this with James' family for 7 years straight. This year we had almost everyone come, were only missing his brother Paul who had to work.

Here is Kaysha with some of her cousins, getting there legs buried.

Zane and max making a castle.

We found this to be the easiest way to keep track of all the kids. heheSandy...i mean, KayshaCyra doing some modeling for me.A snake that Gage and Zane made.Finding Nemo.... ( made by James)Surfer dude...Iron Man...Monday night we celebrated Grandma Jensen and Cassidys birthdays. You can't have a birthday without a pinata.Jace thought it was cool that cyra was shorter than him.Kaysha knee boarding.Zane did awesome on the knee board. He got right out there and just did it.So, funny story to end our trip. I took Cyra and Kaysha in to shower before we left the camp ground (since we were going to be getting home just in time for our ward party). Kaysha was showing first and Cyra was waiting on the bench when suddenly she says in a really shocked tone "Kaysha use to be WHITE!" Both Kaysha and I just burst out laughing. Kaysha definitely has my skin, she can tan so easy.
