Bear Lake 2011!!

This year I decided to take it easy on the planning and just remember that Bear Lake is only 2 days and it's camping. If you forget something, you always have the convenient justification of, "we're roughin' it!". So this year, we loaded up the kidlets, bought a dvd player for the car (lifesaver I might add!!) and drove on up to the lake. On the way, Mitchell watched NeverEnding Story. He says he gets scared of the wolf...so he covers his eyes with the blanket when he's freaked out. lol. He's adorable.

The trip was a lot of fun this year! A few years ago when Jess was more a toddler and Mitchell was a baby, it was seriously rough on me. But now I find I can lean back and really relax more. It's nice.

 Check this photo OUT! See the body form, the step at the same time, the hunches at the same time walking wet!!! OMG. Clone.....

 The traditional bike ride!

It was fun. We did s'mores, played in the sand, did an adventure walk, played with the fam and the kids got to run wild for a while :)

The Hawaiian Extravaganza!!

So with the love and help of our family and friends, we were able to make a trip to Hawaiian possible! Many people feel unlucky or jealous when they think of people going to Hawaii, but let me tell you something, with discipline and a dream, you can make anything happen! We did!!

This is my Cindi Loo Who impression. I rocked it.

We got a little burned.
We had the best time ever!!! Won't forget it for anything!
