Good Times at Bear Lake

We were lucky enough to spend a few days up at Bear Lake with our friends, the Wright's and the Perry's. We had a blast!! Here's some of the many highlights:Even though the weather was a little chilly, we still spent a lot of time outside. Here's Kate and Graham taking a minute to pose it up for me.
Can you say betrothal?

Here's 8 of the 9 kids getting ready to do one of their many races. Claire, the Wright's newest addition was the only one missing.

The kids were fascinated with the merry-go-round this trip. Lucy had to keep asking me if she had been on it too long because she was worried about getting sick. Been there, done that.

Many of the kids had a turn to be buried by Jared. Lucy is smiling, but she was a little nervous about not being able to move her legs.

We ventured a couple times over to the pool. The first day it was pretty cold, but the kids really wanted to do it, so we toughed it out and went. Friday was nice and warm, so we got a fun afternoon full of sunshine and swimming.
Saturday evening we took all the kids mini-golfing. There was a lot of chaos, but the kids had a great time.

Here's a photo we caught of the crew before we headed back to the condo.
After dinner, we played games with the kids out on the grass. Here's Grayson and Lucy during a gripping game of Red Rover.

The kids spent a lot of time playing in the sand. Graham was Mr. Destructo, so the castle builders had to watch out for him.
Lucy was more into seashell finding then castle building. I love how blond her hair is getting. Isn't she cute?Here's the contractors after project completion.

We celebrated Kalleen's b-day while we were there. Nothing too exciting. Just some surprise cupcakes. The kids really go into it and wanted it to be a total surprise.

We are so grateful that the Wright's invited us to go. It had been a few years since we've been able to make it and we missed it soooo much. We always have a fabulous time and make memories to last forever. I loved playing games at night after the kids were in bed and pulling out the good treats. We ate ourselves sick every night we were there. Jason was missed tremendously. You'd be surprised how even the smallest things are just not the same without him around. He LOVES going to Bear Lake with the Wright family. We've decided to make it a Ray family tradition. Hopefully the Wrights will continue to oblige! Thank you so much!!
