The rest of the trip

It's a lot of work to go to the lake because we have to pack so much stuff, but it is worth it. We love just relaxing, playing bocce, hanging out at the lake, and letting the girls play. Addison and Drew could just play in the sand for hours.

We rented a boat this time and Addison loved being on the boat. The second time we went out we decided to take Drew, and she was a little nervous at first, but eventually found it relaxing enough to fall asleep.

We had a great time at Bear Lake. Tim's parents planned a lot of games and fun things to do while we were up there this trip.

Shirley Family Vacation

This year for our annual Shirley family vacation, we stayed close to home and went up to Bear Lake to stay at Tim's Family's cabin. Honestly, it doesn't matter where we go as long as everyone can be there. We always have such a good time when everyone is together.




The kids all love going to the park too. Drew loves swinging and Addison loves going down all the slides.

Bike Parade

The Primary Presidency in our ward always puts on such a fun red, white, and blue bike parade for the kids. Now that Addison is a sunbeam this was her first year participating in it. She thought it was the coolest thing to be able to decorate her trike with balloons and streamers. Addison did a pretty good job riding all the way to the park.

Playing at the Lake

We decided to go and play in the water on last time before we headed home later that afternoon. As you can see the girls loved playing in the sand.

4th of July Weekend

We headed up to Bear Lake to spend the fourth with Tim's family. The girls loved going to the Lake. We weren't sure what Drew was going to think of the water and the sand. She surprised us and loved being in the water. She would have gone all the way out if we would have let her.


We also spend a lot of time at the pool.

The girls loved doing bubbles with grandma.

And last but not least we celebrated Tim's Birthday.
