Bear Lake Camping with Browns

We had to stop for raspberry shakes at Bear Lake.  Oh, and they were good!

 To me this looked kind of like the Sea of Galilee. But not so, it was our camping trip to bear lake.  

Check out this mushroom!  We found this while hiking.

Shumways and Browns just hanging out in a tree.  This tree was hundreds of years old.

 Check out the trunk of this tree.  They say it grew this way because of the winter snow.

Having fun hiking with the Browns.

Clubhouse and Camping with the Darts at Lost Lake.

Our Clubhouse which we are building in our back yard.  The boys are getting pretty excited for it.  It's coming along slowly, but surely.

This is our one fish we caught.  I couldn't hardly skin it fast enough for the kids to eat it.  They gobbled it up and I only got a tiny bit of it.

The Shumways and Darts at the Provo River Falls.

The kids lived in Europe, so when we have no swimming suits, no shame, just go in your underwear...

They really enjoyed watching stuff go down the slippery rocks of the falls.  I'm just glad one of them didn't go with the log.

Zachary going crazy on this log.  We had lots of chopped up wood thanks to Zach.

Our cute Luke!  Just enjoying camping. 

Scout-O-Rama

 

This was the first year the boys got to go to the Scout-O-Rama.  They loved it and it they couldn't stop talking about it.  They worked hard at selling tickets and got some fun prizes.

Walks and Ducks

 We have a great walking path right by our house.  In the spring Luke and Brandt and I took many walks to see the ducks.  It was fun to see them get bigger.

 Brandt is doing great on his bike!  It only took me three times to help him transfer from a balance bike to a regular one.  It helps that he has a lot of competition around him.

Spring Break in Vernal

 We had a great time for Spring Break!  We visited my sister Emily and her family in Vernal.  The first night we went to Red Fleet and took our kayaks.  This was only our second time in the water and the kids did great!  The weather was perfect!

 Emily and her family enjoyed being out on the water.

 Luke!

 Emily and Logan!

 Enjoying suckers while we wait for the Dad's.

 The next morning, bright and early Spencer and Rob took the boys fishing.

 They were very proud of their catch.

 Then we went to the Dinosaur Quarry.  It is all newly done and the boys thought it was cool!

 Brandt and Olivia were best buds.

 One evening we went to Sonic for a tasty treat!

 At Smiths they were having a coloring contest so we thought that was a great activity for the kids.

Anything to keep them happy!

 Easter was right around the corner!  The kids made some pretty colorful eggs.

In Vernal they have an awesome rec center.  The boys loved the swimming.

 We made it to the dinosaur museum and if course the boys were in heaven!  It is great for kids.

 There were lots of Easter egg hunts all over Vernal but we chose to do our own.  Too many bad experiences of parents grabbing the egg for their kids. :(   Emily and Rob have a perfect backyard to hid eggs.  I thought it would take them a little longer but they were quick!
