Cousin Xan is here from Georgia for the week, so we took him with us. Anders is going to fly back tomorrow with him and stay for a week, so we're doing the cousin exchange program, hoorah!
We also took Pip with us- she is an anxious creature, and anytime we leave town it's very stressful for her. It took her a couple of days to adapt, and then she was fine. We took her to the marina the first night to see if she could swim. Turns out she's a fantastic swimmer, she just hates being in the water with a passion. We tortured her about 5 times, making her swim because it was so funny.
Highlights: Going to the marina at night, and the kids got in the lake in their clothes. There was a water trampoline that Xan and Anders managed to get onto. I was getting a little nervous, because a) pretty sure the marina was closed and we weren't supposed to be there, and b) it was dark and I didn't want anyone to die. Anyway, I yelled out that the lake police were coming and we needed to run, and the kids all believed me. It got them out of the water. Sometimes being a mom makes you smart.
We rented a UTV and rode around the mountains for a few hours. It was dirty! Later that day we went to the beach, and the kids played and played. Anders has always loved playing in the sand, and he has not grown out of this love. Anders and Xan dug in the sand for hours. Amazing.
The next day we spent all day at the lake. We rented a couple of paddle boards and a Sea Doo, and everyone got fried crispy. Everyone liked the Sea Doo much more than the UTV, so there's a life lesson learned as far as what's worth it and what's not.
By the end of our second beach day, everyone was so tired, sunburned, and full of sand. It was a success. Bear Lake is good times. Enjoy these pictures that Nils took. Thanks, Nils for taking pictures, so that I don't have to.
