Bear Lake Adventure

Dave and his family, Chelley and Jon came up Saturday morning to begin the exciting long weekend at Bear Lake. We meet Cheryl, Jason, and Ben at the lake on that chilly windy Saturday afternoon ready for some lake fun.

Evan though the weather was as nice as we would have liked, everyone seemed to have a great time. There were two swimming pools with hot tubs, a great playground for the kids, old and young to enjoy, a large open area perfect for games of catch, a basketball hoop, miniature golf, which we didn't have time for, bike rentals, and the lake.

After the kids were put to bed, the Wii came out and Dave, Jason, Jon, and Nate played some fun games well into the night.

What is a trip to Bear Lake if you don't try Raspberry shakes. They were delicious. The boys went to three different places and decided that "Merlins" was the best.

Sunday we spent time at the pool and then the boys went out for ice cream and Cheryl and Summer put the little one's down for a nap and Chelley and I rented bikes for an hour. Then we all wandered down to the lake for a while.

Sunday night Chelley and Jon said good-bye, Jon had to go to work, Monday. We missed them, but were glad they could come up for a while.

Monday we all headed up to Minatonka Cave. That was an amazing place. It was well worth the time and the drive was so beautiful. We had pizza for lunch and then back to the pool and hot tub and later to the lake. The boys played catch and basketball while the little ones went to the playground. Roy and I took a nice relaxing walk around the resort while parents put kids to bed.

Before we knew it it was Tuesday morning and time to pack up. Ideal Beach Resort was a great place for a vacation and it was fun to find a place where we could all be together.

Roy, Nate, and I took the long way home through Montepelier, Cokeville, and then home. It had been a perfect vacation. Now it was time to get ready for another adventure.

I love Bear Lake! We had so much fun, just wish we could have stayed longer, next year we'll plan accordingly by not taking so many vacations before hand!
