Bear Lake 2010...

It has been a tradition since before I was born for my family to go to Bear Lake every summer. My Grandpa and Grandma Argyle are from Randolph, which is near Bear Lake. In the past, most of my mom's side would come but the numbers have been getting smaller over the years. The last few years my family and my Aunt Sherrie's family has been going together and keeping the tradition alive. We stay in condos at Ideal Beach. The condos are right on the lake and there is lots to do. There's a pool and a hot tub, mini golf, tennis, lots of grass for badminton, volleyball, frisbee, etc. It is in such a cute, small town. My new favorite thing besides the raspberry shakes are the chocolate covered raspberries from the chocolate store. They are outrageously good!! I have so many childhood memories there and I absolutely love going every year. It is so beautiful, simple, and relaxing.

This is the view right as you come out of the canyon and see the beautiful blue water.

We got there Friday afternoon. Mike and Whit came Saturday morning and Jordan came Saturday night after work. Every year I forget how easy it is to get sunburned there! I was out on the boat for 1-2 hours and came back completely fried. In the past we've had a boat, but the last few years we haven't. A boat definitely makes it more exciting. Mike was able to bring his bosses boat. We had lots of fun tubing and wakeboarding on Saturday but unfortunately on Sunday the boat had some electrical problems and we weren't able to use it. It was a bummer but oh well. We still had lots and lots of fun!

I've decided that I'm going to start doing this at every beach that I go to!

This is the newest member of the family... Scout. He is Whitney and Mike's little puppy. He was too little to leave at home so they brought him with them. He is so tiny and funny and provided us with lots of entertainment.

My Grandma Argyle relaxing and playing solitaire. It's getting pretty hard for her to make the trip because of the arthritis in her back but she was still able to make it.

On our way home we stopped at my Great Great Grandma's house because my mom wanted to take some pictures. My Grandpa's brother lives there now. The house had lots of pictures of my ancestors and many very old and interesting antiques.
