Bear Lake 2010

Our annual trip to Bear Lake is something we look forward to all year. Now living in Vegas we ended up making this trip a nine day adventure to break up the long drive. First we went camping (last post), then spent a few fun days with my parents seeing Toy Story 3 and eating lots of yummy food. Then we were off to Bear Lake.

Our first night at Bear Lake we decided it would be fun to try the Pickle Ville Playhouse. We have driven past it for so many years, but have never actually been there. Micah looks thrilled waiting for the play. It turned out to be such a fun experience. I think all of us really enjoyed it. The girls are still talking about how fun it was to this day.

This is Avery with her cousin Taylor. I think that phone was attached to her ear most of the trip (boyfriend he he).

During intermission Abbie and Avery couldn't pass up eating a giant pickle at the Pickleville. Aliza settled on a snow cone which they did have a pickle flavoring for. Yuck!

Our days at the beach this year were fewer due to the cold weather. In fact I didn't even get very many pictures this year simply because we were not out playing a lot. We still managed to have a great time without really getting in the water. Abbie made this mermaid sand sculpture with a little help from her uncle Mark.

Aliza had a great time with her cousins taking turns getting buried in this sand pile.

Amidst all the fun activities planned we were able to celebrate a late birthday for Avery with Micah's side of the family while there. She had fun blowing out the candles and opening her gifts.

Avery was in heaven with this beautiful night gown she had fallen in love with the day before at a little shop in Garden City. What a spoiled little girl.

We held our annual talent show which turned out to be a great success. Abbie loves being the announcer and takes her job very seriously. She starts worrying about the talent show right after Christmas. We had many great acts from comedian's to star wars sword fighting. It is always very entertaining.

The wonderful women of the family did their annual talent show dance. We always look silly, but get a good laugh out of choreographing it. Lots of giggles are always involved.

After a treasure hunt, miniature golf, piniata, and swimming at the beach and pools we had a great time being together with our family. Considering we don't see them as often anymore it was so great to spend time with them.

We ended our trip with making t-shirts. We had such a great time, and can't wait until next year.

Too bad we missed you at Bear Lake. We head up there on Friday. We always go to the Pickleville Playhouse. It seems like you've been gone forever. We miss you guys here in Utah!

Looks like so much fun with family and friends. This trip makes me miss Utah. Your girls are always so adorably cute. I hope I get to meet them someday.
