24th of July!

 We spent the 24th with the Young's.  In the afternoon we all went and saw the movie Monsters University which was super cute.  After we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's to play some pioneer games and have a BBQ.

 The first game was the kids had to act like a dog and see if they could get someone to laugh in the circle.  Sibling to Sibling it wasn't very funny.

 But, cousin to cousin was hilarious!

 They couldn't help themselves but, laugh when a cousin came up to them!

 Cute Elizabeth at 5 months.

 We had some three legged races.

 Anne and I made a great team!

 We then played a game of linking tag which got a little crazy!

 I can't get enough of this precious 2 year old!

 Uncle Joe won the tag game!

 Then we played the stick pull game.  All guys were up for this!

 It came down to Mike and Ryan.

 Uncle Ryan won the stick pull and Auntie Erin was very proud!

 We then made homemade ice-cream by throwing the bags of ice and cream back and forth to each other.  It was a really fun day and we enjoyed being together and remembering the great Pioneers that sacrificed so much for us.  We came home that night and watched fireworks from our back yard.  It was a perfect Summer day!

Bear Lake

 The next day the Geertsens arrived and we had more fun with more cousins.  Thanks to Uncle Tom we enjoy going out on the lake on a wave runner.

 Lucy worked everyday very hard in the sand.  We enjoyed sitting and just watching her move dirt from one area to another.

 The excursion was out in force and luckily these scouts know how to row!  Grandpa took full advantage of having grand-kids that liked to row!

 Eliza and Lucy were my swimming babes.  They swam and swam.  They were full on putting there heads under the water and enjoying the lake.

 Zach is now old enough to ride the 4 wheeler.  Jason enjoyed going on rides with him.

 My sweets!

 Mike and I were the Bocce Ball Champs!

 The kids made this cool sand castle together.  They all worked on it at different times.

 On Sunday, the Neddos arrived and we took some pictures of the kids in their shirts.

 The Men relaxing and watching golf.

 Bear Lake has some pretty amazing sunsets over the lake.  I love sitting on the porch in the evening to watch them.  We said farewell to another great Bear Lake trip and can't wait for our next adventure up there.

Bear Lake

 We have been so excited for this trip up to Bear Lake.  The kids have been counting down for weeks!  Bear Lake never disappoints and we had a great time with our Schwitzer Family.

 The night we got up there it was raining but, I love watching the storms cross the Lake.  Lucy loves Grace and enjoyed getting bike rides from her!

 These two are like two peas in a pod.  They have such a great time together!

 Nothing says Bear Lake like a Cheetos and chocolate covered mouth!

 Anne loves hanging out with Kate!

 The kids loved to go under the water tramp and look under the water.

 Greg and JoAnn have done so much work on the lake house.  The pipes froze last winter and destroyed the house.  They have put hours and hours into the home getting it back into shape.  While we were there we helped with a few projects.  Greg, Mike, and Paul made these stairs a lot more stable.

 We made cousin shirts.

 A talent show was given.

 Lots of play cooking was done by Lucy.

These girls sure do love their Grandma!
