Now that we have a kid in school, it's harder to just pack up and leave whenever we want. Logan had a few days off in the middle of October so we decided, along with Benj's side of the family, to take a little trip to Bear Lake for fall break.
These are all phone photos (I forgot my nice camera). It was too cold to do any water activities, but gosh, we sure enjoyed the views. I love that blue water.
All 11 of us stayed in the same condo, a place called the Garden City Resort in Bear Lake. We had all 5 of us in one room. The first night was rough because Norah woke up at 11 (when Benj and I came in) and she didn't fall asleep for 2 hours. Too excited sleeping in the same bed with Mommy. Max woke up a couple times after that. Luckily we had better sleep the next 3 nights. The resort had great beach access, a playground, swimming pool, tennis courts and even mini golf. It was a lot of fun!
We loved exploring the beach.
Playing with cousins. Max took his first real steps at the condo and has been walking more and more ever since. Although in the photo below he was teaching his older cousins a thing or two about crawling.
Dining at Coopers and enjoying the amazing view of the lake.
The whole group (minus Max sleeping)
One of our favorite activities was renting a 5-seater bike and riding around town. We managed to find some chocolate-covered raspberries along the way. I think Max enjoyed himself more than anyone else! Logan was concerned about being in the lead (everything is a race to him), Norah was done about halfway through, but the chocolate seemed to lift her spirits. Benj and I started the way back from the candy store with our brake on and about passed out from exhaustion! Ha!
We enjoyed good food, games, and conversation. We're glad we got to spend some quality time with family and hope we can make this a yearly visit!
