Bear Lake

While Ezra was in China I was in Bear Lake, I know, not quite as exciting as China but still way fun. Karlie and Shalie have celebrated just about all of their birthdays at Bear Lake and they wouldn't have it any other way.
Playing pinata can get dangerous with this group.

Claire took over the rinsing of the T shirts.


They turned out pretty cool!

Sailing is always fun- even if you fall over!



This is the Back Dive gang- I taught them all how to back dives. They were quick learners!


I know it looks like I'm going to do a back flop- but don't worry I made it saftely into the water.

I always love Bear Lake- there are a lot of memories connected to that place.

Sail boat rides with Dad
raspberry shakes
Praying not do die while riding the Water weenie
Tie Dye t-shirts

You just can't beat Bear Lake!

This street sweeper thought I was going to steal her bike until I gave her my camera to take a picture.

Steve, Ben, Me, Reed, and Willy. It was a wonderful trip. Hopefully one day I'll be able to take Jess with Me. Before then I'll have to work on my Chinese. E R Sun.

Hill Air Force Museum



Ezra and I went to the Hill Air Force Museum. Ezra loved it. The plane pictured above is his dream plane. Ezra had the specs on just about every plane we saw memorized, he was such a good tour guide. We had a ton of fun!

Ezra is excited to go back to Rexburg because he is planning on finishing up his pilots license while I am in my last semester of school.
