Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake for the 4th of July, the Alley's (Darrin's Mom's side) always have a reunion at their site at the lake. It was the first time we have been able to go and it was lots of fun! Remy and Tate took rides in the canoe with Grandpa and Grandma and Tate dug in the sand on the shore with Grandma Owings (he LOVES sand!) and They both loved swimming in the cool water. Remy especially loved playing in the water and I think would have lived in it for the whole time we were there. We had to drag him out when it was time to eat or sleep. Remy drove the seadoo's with Daddy and had a fun time doing it!

We had lots of fun with cousins we don't see very often, and we had to drive to LeBeau's for a Raspberry Shake....mmmmm....

We did fireworks that evening and our puny little "legal" fireworks looked sad next to the awesome "not so legal" fireworks going on all around us and all around the lake.

Finally, As some of you may know our kids are very accident prone, so, in honor of that here is the list of things that happened to poor Tate on our Bear Lake vacation:

1-G&G Bradshaw have a pop up trailer. We were in the trailer and Tate was rolling around on the bed. All of the sudden he was gone. I said, "Darrin, where is Tate?" Next thing we see is Tate walking around to the door from the side of the trailer. We open the door and he says "I fall out!" There was a hole in the side of the trailer where the tent part meets the trailer part and he fell right out of it onto the ground. We couldn't believe it.

2- Tate was feasting on some of Aunt Blanca's Carne Asada and he choked. I was just flipping him around to do stomache thrusts when he threw it all up...all over me.

3-Tate was doing a sparkler. It was done and he put it down to bury it in the sand, then decided to pick it up again, giving himself a second degree burn on his hand.
