Bear Lake Vacation
Sorry everyone - we're really behind on blogging. We've been having an incredibly fun summer and haven't been home very much. But we will attempt to catch you up-to-date with our comings and goings in the next few days. Be patient - summer is a busy and fun time for us.
First up - our recent vacation at the end of June to Bear Lake in Northern Utah. Bear Lake is a beautiful, but very cold lake and we haven't spent much time in that area at all. We enjoyed a full week away being able to see some of the area. We got up early with daddy a couple of mornings and went fishing. Check out this UGLY fish we caught. The fish were spawning while we were there and weren't very interested in eating our worms. 
We spent a lot of time just playing around. The condo that we stayed at had a great play area. We also caught up on some sleep and just simply enjoyed a few totally relaxing days. 
And more playing . . . . fun times for boys!
Uncle Carl and Aunt Francine met us in Bear Lake for a few days. They had their trailer and so we spent some evenings hanging out with them at the campground. They brought us these incredibly COOL hats - mine is a moose hat and Sam's is a bison hat. We LoVe these hats!
We taught them how to cook and eat smores. Yummy!
We all went hiking up Bloomington Canyon - trying to make it all the way to Bloomington Lake. But with the very wet spring and early summer that we have had, the road wasn't passable. We even tried the 2 mile hike in to the lake, but the trail wasn't passable either. So we hiked as far as we could and then played in the snow. We found a beaver stick and played baseball with snowballs. After we got back to the truck we had lunch in the shade and played in the river. 
A beautiful little waterfall.
We also went to Minnetonka Cave. Believe what you read about this cave - it really was about 40 degrees inside the cave. And check out this tiny little bat that we found inside the cave - top left picture. He was soooo cute!
Uncle Carl and Aunt Fran didn't forget about my birthday either - we had a super yummy bbq and birthday cupcakes that night. The "week of Mason" really was a full week long and I loved every minute of it!
We played and played and played . . . and relaxed and relaxed and enjoyed. Check out this climbing wall that we both scaled with ease. 
And we officially LoVe playing miniature golf. Our condo resort had a fun little course that we played multiple times. Sam especially has decided that golf is in his future! I even scored two hole-in-ones during our last game.
We had a great vacation and enjoyed spending some time with Carl and Fran. The weather was beautiful! 
And so was the company!
After we got back home, we went shopping and got some new tools (real tools, not play tools) with our gift cards from Aunt Jen Jen and Uncle Michael. Check out the Pirate Ship bird house and Truck bird feeder that Sam and I made using our new tools.
