Bear Lake - Day 6

On Wednesday, Shawn and Tyler decided they wanted to do a "real" hike (as opposed to the "easy" one we did as a family on Monday), so they got up early and headed to Tony Grove to do the White Pines Lake hike. It was about 8 miles round trip and they thoroughly enjoyed it! They came back with some pretty amazing pics as well.

The girls and I slept in and then headed over to Rendezvous beach while we waited for the boys and my brother and his girls to get there. The day was gorgeous as usual and everyone was in a good mood. The boys got back about noon and Andrew and two of his girls, Myah and Hayley, got there about 12:30. We grabbed a quick lunch and then headed over to Ideal Beach to pick up our boat rental! YAY! See, we had SO MUCH FUN on my aunt's boat that we just couldn't resist doing it again. Thankfully we had called the rental place the day before and were able to reserve the last boat that they had available- whew! When we got there, they went over the safety rules with us and sent us on our way. I have to back up a little bit here- the night before the wind had kicked up and we saw two boats get swamped that were floating near our campground so we were a little bit nervous about if the weather would get windy again that afternoon. They were nice and told us if we felt at all uncomfortable to just bring the boat in even though we had rented it for 4 hours and they would just pro-rate the time. SO- we were off to have fun!!



First up- Roxy and Myah

Hayley and Baylie could hardly wait for their turn. They were laughing pretty much the whole time they were on there!

Tyler and Ashlie just didn't want to get thrown....

Andrew and Shawn - HILARIOUS!

Me and my bro (I told his daughter Hayley that he was my little bro and she couldn't stop giggling because "He's not little!"

Love all these cute kiddos!

Vroom, vroom - Shawn was an excellent captain!

And you wonder where Tyler gets his looonngg, lean looks - wonder no more, he's built just like my brother Andrew.

 We had been out on the boat for 3 hours laughing, swimming and just having a great time. Shawn and Andrew had just gotten back on the tube for another turn and I couldn't get the boat started. Everything was where it should be but it just would NOT start. Then the wind kicked up and we were rockin and a rollin. I was pretty nervous and so was Shawn so we decided it was time to call it a day. Honestly though, it was plenty of time. Everyone had had their fill and no one complained about going in a bit early (especially after seeing those two boats the night before!).

We then all went back to our campsite and roasted hot dogs and s'mores over the fire.

Getting ready to eat!

Cutie pie Myah!

Can't stop grinning from our great day!

Baylie had a loose tooth that she just kept yanking on until it came out!
