Bear Lake fun






















We had such a blast at Bear Lake! We went with some good friends of ours, Steve and Allison Books. His mom and step-dad own the cabin we stayed in. We drove north for about 3 hours (not including the dinner stop at Maddox in Brigham City and our grocery store stop before we hit the mountain). Bear Lake is at the top of Utah/bottom of Idaho and is so beautiful. We stayed up there for about 4 days and enjoyed our 4th of July up there. We had so much fun playing in the lake, shooting soda cans with our new pellet gun we bought (and which I announce proudly that I won one round), playing Monopoly 4 times (Richard won 3 of those games...grrr!) and watching 3 Amigos (one of the funniest and dumbest movies, you have to be in the right mood to watch.)
It was good to get back home to our own beds. We sure had a nice time away and a fun 4th. Hope you all had a good time as well!

Looks like fun! Bear Lake is one of our very favorite places in the whole world -- in fact, we are spending our summer vacation there the week after next. Can't wait . . .

Cute pictures -- check out you with that pellet gun! I've never seen you look scary before, but I might be a little afraid if you came after me with that thing!

Hey, I'm setting up a virtual blog tour for a friend and wonder if you'd like to be a host. Would you pop me a note at tristi AT tristipinkston.com and I'll share details?

Mmmm Maddox...we'll drive down there just to get Ham and Cheese sandwiches and strawberry shakes at their drive-in.

I also LOVE Bear Lake...I'm glad it is only a 40 minutes drive for us. Next time you come up you should stop by and say hi!

I haven't been to bear lake since I was a kid, I forgot how beautiful it is. Looks like you had fun, and I'm impressed with your gun handling skills. Next time though you should try to figure out how to make the pellet gun part of the monopoly game...
