Back in August, the week everyone was going back to school......we were still playing! Summer felt really short this year, so we took everything we could from it, till the very end. Our 4 day Bear Lake camping trip with our family was a great way to bring summer to a end.
As usual, Katie took MILLIONS of pictures....and that's why it took me so long to post about our trip, I had to pick and sort through all of them.
Up at the Over look of Bear Lake.
The campground we stayed out was so little, it only had 6 camp sites in it, and our family took up 3 of them. The whole place was empty till the weekend, which was lovely for us....we had the ONE public restroom to ourselves almost the the whole time.
Doesn't that air mattress seem so comfy and just perfect for sleeping to avoid that hard rocky ground? Well it is.....but not so perfect in such a small tent! haha!
Oreos. Yum.
Ryan and I have a tent. We didn't use it much, only for sleeping. When your parents have a nice, warm, PLUMBED trailer....why not hang out in there more?!
S'mores....how I LOVE you! I ate so much junk (food :) on this trip. But you have to eat s'mores when you go camping ! It's a rule!
This is so cool! When it got dark, Katie told me to write my name in the air with my flashlight. While I did that, she did some adjusting on her fancy camera (I think something to do with the shutter?)......and this was how the picture ended up. She did have to rotate the image, otherwise my name would of been backwards. Man, I need a nice camera...look at all the fun stuff you can do!
Ryan did it too. Pretty cool, huh :)
The nephews.
She is just the cutest. Love her to death.
More junk food. Banana boats.....so very tasty.
The whole gang. Love them to pieces.
Minnietonka Cave.
Oh, Kaci. You're so funny.
The cave stays a constant 40 degrees all year around, so we were all bundled up cause it was COLD in there!
Fun fact: There is 444 stairs down ward to the cave. Then you get to the bottom, turn around and come back up 444 stairs to the top. So, there's a total of 888 stairs total to walk.
My nose was cold.
When you go up these steep, steep stairs.....they call it the stairway to Heaven. So when going down them....what's it called then? :p
Going up to heaven, one step at a time....that's where I want to be :)
Awww, boating...our happy place. We can't go to Bear Lake without playing in the water! Look, there's my Ryan in the background :)
Making sand castles.
This is priceless. Love it.
That Kennedy has been only wake boarding for 2 summers and she's already better than me!
All day boating, so fun...but wears you out. You sure do sleep well that night!
I'm not a big hotdog fan, but when their cooked over the fire, I'll eat one or two.
Packing up and going home!
We had so much fun, I so do love camping! From the care-free days to the smell of the campfire, camping is truely great! However, we didn't have a shower and I missed my own bathroom. I so do love my home too! :)
