Bearlake and 4th of July celebration

We started our fun Bearlake weekend swinging in the playground at the cabin. The girls were so excited to get up there and see all of their cousins. The first day was really windy so we played alot of Dr Mario on the nintendo
We made it to the beach and the kids loved playing and digging in the sand but about 20 min later we had a major wind storm blow in and we headed back to the cabin!
We had the best smores ever. Aunt Steph found huge marshmellows to make our smores extra gooey
Of course the guys had the world cup soccer on!
We made it back to the lake but the water was so cold uncle Jason pulled all of the kids on the tube from the boat to the beach!
We celebrated 2 cousin birthdays over the weekend. Mckenna and Nate's. Lori made the cutest KiLan cake and Nate a baseball cake.
We went to church and the little girls looked so cute all dressed up.
We headed up Fish Haven Canyon after church and took a family picture
This is a picture of the tree my Dad carved his and my moms initials in a couple of months before he passed away. It is always fun to go visit.
There was a fun rock in the canyon so each family took pictures
Picture of the cousins. Amazing they were all looking! They are such great friends. We are excited for Brooke to have her baby in a couple of weeks to add to the boys!
We took lots of rides to the beach and around the cabin in the new ranger. It was nice to be able to entertain lots of kids on one ride.
We spent some time doing puzzles
Some tumbling on the beach
And swimming in the pool! Even though the weather wasn't the greatest we had tons of fun being with the family. It was fun having everyone there. It was hard coming home!
We came home on the 5th of July to a fun neighborhood BBQ. We had great food and fun fireworks.

We had a great weekend but were so tired by the end of the night. It's fun to have family and friends to celebrate the good times with.
