Bear Lake has got to be one of my kids top places to go in the summer, and what makes it even more fun is when their Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle and cousins come to join us!
Ellie and Grandma picked out these balls at the store, one for each kid, and they were a hit!
The pool was their favorite place to be this time around. This was their first time we had tubes and inflatables for them, you can tell we don't' get to the pool very often with all our small kids!! But they LOVED it! There is a toddler pool which is awesome to have, and they big pool. The tubes gave my kids some slow confidence to go into the big pool ad they gradually gained confidence in knowing they would help them float. However, Ava had no problem at all, she jumped right i the big pool with her tube and then went right down the slide all by herself. She is one independent little girl!!
I had a funny conversation with gavin, it went like this:
Gavin: "Mom put your head under water"
Mom: "I will if you do"
Gavin: "No"
Mom: "Ok, then I won't"
...a pause for a minute or two...
Gavin: "Ok mom, look, I'll even take my tube off and float with my water wings"
...What!!?? That's all that needed to be said for him to gain his confidence and it was over, he was totally fine int he big pool floating around and having a good time, he was so proud of himself!!!
Easton was perfectly content staying in the little pool, and Ayden would go back and forth between the toddler pool and the stairs on the big pool, that was a big deal for him and we were proud of him for that!
This is Ava after dunking her head in the water, a face we saw often!
Here she goes again...
Jordan is usually the one that goes in the pool with the kids, but this time I guess it was my turn...
Ayden was done and waiting for everyone to leave so he could go ride his scooter, so he hung out with Grandma and Aunt Kassie
Putting their feet in the hot tub
The Beach
Ava found a lady bug
Jordan, Travis, and Ben all did the Jet Skis for a few hours while we were their, the only kids that went for rides were Ava and Ellie!! Brave girls!
Kassie and Gavin working on burying Ava...
...Which lead to this work of art later...
This kids working hard on the beach trying to make water holes and dams, and sand castles
Carter LOVED the water, I was worried we would have as much sand in his mouth as we had when Easton was his age and we were at the beach, but it didn't occur as often!
Easton his showing us how he gets his snot from his nose to his cheek...gross!
This is one dirty kid!
Going to and from the beach or the park..
What can I say, she is my diva who loves to pose!
Easton loves the park, I think this is his favorite place to be, here and the beach!
