Last Days of Summer...

Oh how sad we are to see the hot days of summer coming to an end. School is fast approaching and schedules are filling up. We took advantage of every minute we could in Bear Lake before things and kids get going in a million different directions.

Our good friends, the Adairs, from Arizona, have moved back to Utah after moving back and forth a couple times. When they lived here, it was tradition to go to Bear Lake at least once a summer. We were happy to make that tradition happen again. We love their adorable kiddies!

We also were so excited to have our friends, the Brooksbys, come spend a few days with us. We have been good friends with them since medical school and they were even at Utah State...so we go WAY back. It was great for the kids to get together and have some fun.

The adults raced and of course the girls dominated!

Mindy and I being so awesome!
And of course you can't have a great time in Bear Lake without a shake. While we waited for our shakes, Abi's friend, Hannah, tried to show us a cool trick. I couldn't figure out why we couldn't do it very good. After looking at the pictures, we clearly weren't incompetent, we just didn't have the correct arm positioning. 😑
YUM-O!!!
We also were able to get most of Russel's family up here to spend the night and go see our favorite show at Pickleville Playhouse, Juanito Bandito! Here is the famous Jaunito with some of the cousins.

Meili's 6th Birthday...

Image
Meili's only request this year was to spend her birthday in Bear Lake.  That was not a problem.  Since it was also Raspberry Days that weekend, my family planned to come spend a fun-filled weekend with us.  Russel and I decided to come the night before and bring the three little kids with us.  We thought it would be super fun to go down to the KOA and rent a 6-person bike and ride around town.  It was a little harder than we thought since Russel and I were pretty much the man power.  We kept telling the kids to start pulling their weight and get pedaling!  JD kept complaining a little that his heart was hurting.  Well he's definitely a little athlete so I'm just thinking he's being lazy.  I kept telling him to get his groove on and get moving. Well after about an hour we returned the bike and went for snow cones.  The best snow cones in all of Bear Lake.  Yum!  Anyway, JD kept saying his heart was going so fast and I kept brush...

Girls, Girls, Girls....

So I have a lot of catching up to do in the blogging world. Several things have happened this month so I am devoting however long it may take today to get everything posted. This past weekend Abi invited 4 friends to go to the Nutcracker with her and Meili....of course Russel and I tagged along as well. We went to the matinee showing and beforehand they had a Sugar Plum Fairy Tea Party that was an absolute must. All the girls dressed up in fancy dresses and we had a great time. The tea party was decorated like a little girl's dream. Pink everywhere, sparkles covering everything, gooey pink sweet dessert, and many performers from the show mingling and taking pictures. Abi is truly blessed to have such good friends and this is only just a handful of them. The girls were so cute and had a great time. During intermission, we ran across the street to the famous Bluebird Restaurant to get them chocolates and candy (wonderful suggestion from Courtney). Oh...and it was also quite a...

Beautiful Drive up Logan Canyon...

Image
On Saturday, we decided to take a little drive up the canyon and look at the beautiful fall colors and my oh my were they gorgeous!! We've been up there twice this week and just can't get enough. This time we remembered the camera. :) The kids loved seeing the vibrant leaves. The drive is truly an hour of awesomeness. Plus it's always nice to know there's a very yummy fresh raspberry shake waiting for you....not to mention chocolate covered raspberries. Just a few of our favorite moments in Bear Lake. Here are a few of the "hundreds" of pics that Russel took. He has "trigger finger." I think I narrowed it down pretty good though.....although sometimes it's hard to tell if #95 looks better #3. :)
