Last Summer Fling - Trip to Bear Lake






We didn't take a family vacation this year. Hopefully we will next year. However, we decided to take a day and take the boys to Bear Lake. This is how it looks like coming from the canyon.


The boys built a series of dams and let them fill with water. The water was too cold to swim in. We enjoyed the cool breeze and the warm sun, with a nice picnic lunch.

Stephen did most of the work on the dams. He had a really great time. We all did. We finished up with shakes and fries. Then headed home down the canyon.



We stopped along the way to explore a spring. Ryan climbed around it first.


I snapped this picture of the flowers growing there.


Then, Stephen climbed around, too.


All in all, a very satisfying day.

Ryan Goes on National Jamboree Tour

This is Ryan at 4:00 in the morning - ready to leave for Jamboree. This is way back on July 20th. He was due back today, but missed his flight, so we will see him tomorrow. Then, there will be more to share.

However, I really thought Ryan looked good - so I just had to get his picture. What do you think?
