Bear Lake Trip

On Monday, July 25th, we drove up to Rendevous Beach at Bear Lake.  We went through Evanston, Wyoming, stopping there to use the bathroom and get gas while we were there.  We got up there around 10:45am.  We were able to get a spot, set up our canopy and chairs, and get the kayaks in the water.  It was a beautiful day!

Around 3:30pm we went over and set up camp at our campsite nearby. After a successful trip to the Uintas, we figured we should go camping again.  We've never camped there as a family and decided we should try it.  

Carter and Steve built a sand castle.  Nyles and I went on another ride out and around the floats to the end of the no wake zones.  Nyles playing in his hammock and Hudson getting some Cheetos.

Hudson enjoying the lake, getting our tents and hammock set up, then getting a fire.

So peaceful and WAY less busy in the evening.  There were lots of sea shells too.

We then went back to camp, made a fire and some s'mores of course.

Nyles and Carter did a monkey dance to cheer up Hudson, then he joined in.

We got ready for bed after s'mores.  Thankfully Hudson was more than ready for bed by the time we got settled down.  He fell right to sleep and didn't try to climb out this time.  He thankfully slept through the night as well.  It got a little cool, but not as cool as up in the Uintas, so we all stayed warm. 

The next morning, the boys playing in the hammocks.  Hudson getting some breakfast.

We packed up all our stuff at camp after breakfast and headed back over to the lake.  We each took turns taking the kayaks out for a ride, which was so fun!  It was another beautiful day at the lake.  The weather was great!  The water is so clear and beautiful as well.

Around 1pm we packed up and drove home after getting a milk shake.  We had a great time at the lake!  When we got home, Steve went and dropped the boys off at Martial Arts then went and picked up Piper at Dave/Joann's place while I unpacked.  We had had a lot of fun as a family and made some good memories.  I'm thankful for the time we have to spend together as a family and enjoy the beautiful nature around us.
