Bear Lake


Ruby and cousin Robbie dug this big hole and it kept Ruby entertained for hours.


We went to Bear Lake a few weeks ago. We go every summer with Trent's family and camp and play at the beach. But this year we FROZE! We got up there on a Monday night about 9:00 and our car said 45 degree's at 9:00, so I bet it was in the 30's at night. Hudson was lucky enough to get to sleep in Grandpa and Grandma's trailer but Ruby, Trent and I were stuck in the tent. Ruby was snuggled all warm and slept all night, but Trent and I did not. We only had one sleeping bag on us and forgot to zip it up, so we froze. Oh well. The next night Grandpa to the rescue. He gave us some extra blankets and we zipped our sleeping bag and we slept great.
The water was a bit cold and it was only 70 degree's during the day so a bit chilly but we still had a great time.
Aunt Charlotte was nice enough to take some of her nieces on the Jet Skii.


It was Ruby's first time and she loved it.


Isn't she so cute?!?! She loved wearing the life vest.


Jesse was nice enough to pull Ruby and Hyrum around on the raft.


Making Chance into a mermaid. We usually build a huge sandcastle but this year no one did.

Hudson, my skinny boy, and Hyrum playing in the water.


All 14 Maw Grandkids piled into the back of Grandpa's Truck. Yes 14! And thats only 4 of the Maw kids with kids. There are still 4 more that haven't had any yet. And two of us that have kids have only begun. This is going to be one big, crazy family. But its so fun.

It looks like you had a lot of fun! That's so cool that Hudson and Ruby have lots of cousins. Our extended family is pretty small compared to yours! ;)

Big families are so much fun!! It's great that your kids have so many cousins to play with. I bet they love it. My latest post was about our camping trip to Bear Lake, and then I noticed that 4 people's posts on my blogger list were about Bear Lake. Funny! I'm surprised none of us ran into eachother!

It looked like so much fun, except for the cold. I hate sleeping outside when the temp is freezing, burr. I love bear lake it is like our home away from home. I was looking through your cute pics and was like why is Charlotte in there and remembered that you are related. I forget all the time.LOL
Any way it looked like lots of fun.
