BEAR LAKE


We went to Bear Lake over Labor Day. Emily brought her friend Jessica and Lyssi brought her friend Sara. We went with 4 other families all of whom had trailers and we were the ones that everyone felt sorry for because we had tents. (we are still thinking that is all good) We really had a good time. One family brought a projector so we watched a movie while eating dutch oven apple cripsp. Now honestly, does it get better than this~even if we had to climb into our tent at the end of the day.





The beach was so fun. We were still somewhat clean and we had such a good time in the water and on the beach. We brought our 4wheeler, kids played in the sand, swam, floated in rafts...it was a good day!
We lazed around all day long. All of the girls, and there were a lot of them~all got along and had fun together.


I wouln't have wanted to be the one burried, but they seemed to think it was cool. Loren played in the sand building things the whole entire day. She was meant to be a beach baby!







I just had to put this of Brennan, just because he looks so dang cute!






Cold! Cold! Mornings! By now we are cold and filthy dirty but hot chocolate makes it all better! That is for the sweet little kids, as for the big girls...don't they wake up looking adorable?!





Everything was fine and dandy until Hurricane Katrina decided to pay us a visit. The rains came down and the floods came up! It was so windy and in a matter of minutes, everything in our tent was wet and because of the wind and the dirt-muddy too. We all ran for cover ! We went to share the warmth and dryness with the Soifua's. They didn't see us coming and we hit them hard!


We had a few kids from a few different families that were all in the trailer, but when it came to bed time-the Bateman's pretty much filled Soifua's trailer. It was fun. We told stories and shared most embarrassing moments (and we all know that I have a few!) We were wall to wall people and we all just snuggled right in. It was crazy fun and they will be memories that will last!

Looks like a lot of fun, but of course, you guys always are. I remember that fantastic Memorial Day weekend that I spent with you and your family at Lake Powell.

Brennan wanted to go to the land fill on our way home and just dump everything off! did I mention that he isn't a camper?

What happened to your pop up camper? Didn't you have one, once upon a time?

we sold it because we wanted to take along 4 wheelers and so we pull behind us that instead of a pop up. We were missing it this trip! we do crazy things sometimes.
