Raspberry Days at Bear Lake

 Had another great trip to Bear Lake with

Chelsey and her family, her Evanston friends
 Lisa and Dave and little boy Tate,

and Ethan and Pap Pap.

It was Raspberry Days so we

went to the rodeo, craft fair and fireworks and

 of course indulged in some of their famous shakes. 



Ron's Dad with his bug deterrant hat!

Ethan had fun at the new racetrack in Garden City



Jackson loved the beach and didn't mind
getting a little dirty



Chloe and Logan building a mote around their castle



Great way to keep Jackson in one spot!

 

Ethan really got a kick out of Jackson and
was a good helper

Jackson loved the boat and is such a happy baby

Ron gave Taylor and Dave the ride of their lives.
They were so worn out from trying to stay on,
they had a hard time sitting up!

Chels with her friend Lisa
I definitely gave them a calmer ride!

Lisa, Dave, and Tate
We really enjoyed getting to know
this cute little family!

Ethan liked the tube until Logan said he wanted a wilder ride.
So Ethan bailed off the tube and decided to swim to shore.
Of course, we coaxed him back into the boat
since we were in the middle of the lake!

Even little Jackson liked the tube

Not sure if she was yawning or squealing!

We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw Logan
kneeboarding for the first time. He stayed on a long time.
Way to go Logan!

Dave trying to kneeboard!
One thing about Dave - he
doesn't give up - he kept saying
"one more time" about 20 times!

Lookin' pretty good Chelsey!

Way to go Taylor!

Even the old guy looks pretty good on skiis
although I complained to him that when
I skiied and wakeboarded, no one took my
picture - maybe next time!

Logan is a great little diver and swimmer - 
thinkin' he needs to be on the swim team!

Great canonball Ethan!

Love this little guy!





So glad Chelsey and her family like to hang out with us.

We have so much fun when we get together.

Of course, when Chelsey and I are together,

there's lots of card playing.

Makes me sad that summer is coming to an end.

One of these days we'll be looking out at snow

but I do feel like we're making the most of

this summer and enjoying the beautiful

weather at our cabin. It's about 10 degrees

cooler there which makes it so comfortable

but still warm enough for lots of fun in the sun!
