We have had 4 different trips to Bear Lake this summer. They all were so much fun!
Our first trip was with Jason and Kelly and their 2 kids. We stayed at The Watsons family cabin. We had a fire at night, ate lots of smores, played games all night and then got up and had a delicious breakfast. We played out at the beach all day and went on the wave runner and built sand castles. We brought our neighbors 4-wheelers and took the kids on some rides. Tons and tons of fun!! One of the favorite things for the kids to do is go searching for frogs. They do find them and like to put them in buckets...hey! whatever keeps them happy!
Loaded Questions...our favorite game to play

Our next trip was the first of August and we went back to the cabin to visit Shawn, Jody and kids. Now, anytime the Watson brothers get together there are always fireworks shows! They put on quite a show for us, it was so beautiful.
Can someone please come play with me?
It was perfect weather so we headed down to the beach and read books (Breaking Dawn), played beach games, swam, and let the cousins make lots of memories.

The third trip was during the middle of August for a Van Orden reunion. We stayed at Sweet Water which was so nice. We had a blast! We went from August 16th - August 19th. Once again, sunny weather...gotta love it! The kids had a great time playing in the sand (making Cameron a mermaid!)
I think this is where Jon is trying to nurse the baby, I don't know if it worked or not!
Papa had his boat so he was continually out in the water taking kids out on the tube. Jason brought the most delicious hot dogs that he cooked up for lunch right on the beach so that was awesome!
The Bear Lake Monster turned all of the kids hair green! They had so much fun when Kaye started spraying their hair.

We celebrated Jessica's 15th birthday at Bear Lake. All her cousins woke her up with horns and jumped on her. Then Nena and Papa made her a special birthday breakfast. After going to the lake for the day we went to LaBeau's and had dinner. We also celebrated her birthday when she turned one at Bear Lake and went to LaBeau's so it was fun to remember way back then! 
Every night was the best because the adults all played games. It got a little crazy and loud sometimes....I won't mention any names....(It definitely wasn't me! hehe!!)
Our last trip was the second weekend in September with Jessica's friend Bailey and Brianne and Rachel's friend Hadley coming with us. We couldn't of had more fun! The girls were hilarious blasting music and just acting funny. We stayed out by the firepit so late at night and just talked. It was a great bonding experience for everyone. The weather was in the 70's and windy. We played on the waverunner all day and got so much sun! (my favorite part!)
Jess and Bailey scaring us all....
