Family vacation times appears to be my blog update time, so I will see how many posts I can add today to get everything updated.
Our vacation this year was to Bear Lake. I took my camera, but I did not get it out a single time, so thank you to Amber and Kristi for taking pictures to remember our vacation.
The grand kids were old enough to do more playing this year and they enjoyed having their cousins to play with. We camped at the KOA in a little cabin with an extra tent put up out behind it. The spot was nice and private at the end of a lane with a privacy fence. The first evening we just settled in and had dinner and visited.

The next day we went to the park after breakfast and the kids had fun playing on the teeter-totter and spinning toy. The kids and adults both had fun jumping on the giant pillow pad.
That afternoon we rented a speed boat and went out on the lake to play. The water was such a beautiful turquoise color. That is apparently from the special combination of minerals that exists in the lake.

Brave little Naomi let her dad take her out on the tube. Kyle pulled them very slowly and Naomi at one point even took her hands off the straps because she was so comfortable with the ride.
Tai Lynn took a ride as well. We were never able to convince Kasen to go out on the tube.

On Tuesday after breakfast we took a walk to find some rocks and we painted memory rocks to remember our vacation.

| Bear Lake memory rocks. We used some glow-in-the-dark paints, so hopefully they will actually glow. |
Later in the day we got some free little craft kits from the KOA and the kids made little foam speed boats.
On Wednesday we rented a pontoon boat and went fishing in the afternoon. Kasen was so excited to use his Toy Story fishing pole. Kyle caught one fish, but since we did not catch any more we let it go at the end of the day.

Grammy did not have so much luck with trolling.
Both days that we tried trolling her line got all twisted on itself. |
