Bear Lake/Logan Trip w/ Sisters

On Tuesday, August 2nd after working 1/2 the day, we headed up to Logan/Smithfield.  We met Barb and Pauline there.  Just before getting to the house we rented, we all picked up pizza at different places for dinner.  Then we had cake and ice cream for the August birthdays.

Having cake and ice cream.  Happy birthday to August birthdays: Pauline (8th), Nyles (12th), Barbara and Hudson (20th).  Hudson and Lincoln using the "Throw Throw Burritos" to get Chris.

After breakfast on Wednesday, we drove through Logan Canyon up to Bear Lake for the day.  We had great weather too!  The wind blew for a only a few minutes, then died down.  The sun was shinning, and it was about 82 degrees.  It was perfect!

More fun in the sun!  Hudson wouldn't settle down for a nap, so I took him out on the kayak.  Pretty soon he fell asleep on the kayak.  I wanted to keep him asleep, so I kept kayaking around for an hour.

After playing at the lake, we went over to LaBeau's in Garden City for dinner, burgers and shakes, yumm!

Enjoying our food!  After dinner we headed back down the canyon back to the rental house in Smithfield.  The kids then enjoyed a movie while Barb and I worked on a puzzle and talked with Pauline, Chris and Steve.

On Friday, after breakfast, we went to Logan and played at The Adventure Playground at the Whittier Center for a little while.

We then went over to the Logan River and walked around.

Beautiful scenery.

We then went back to the house for lunch.  

After lunch we to Gossner cheese, then over to Logan Lanes to bowl.  We had a good time!

Good times bowling!  Brady had the highest score, beating Pauline by 1 point!

After bowling we went over to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, yumm!

They did a birthday yeehaw and gave ice cream to Pauline, Nyles, Barb and Hudson.

We had a fun last evening talking and playing games.  We also finished the puzzle.  It was a panda puzzle w/ 13 hidden pandas plus it glowed in the dark!

We all had a great time!  We had wonderful weather and a great time together.  Until next time....
