Bear Lake

One of the days my parents were here visiting we drove up to Bear Lake to spend the afternoon on the beach. This is something we have wanted to do since we lived here and just have not made it there yet. The drive up there is beautiful and the lake is gorgeous. These pictures are taken from the view point area before you drive down to the lake. The water is so blue and the mountains in the background make it really beautiful. 

 

 

 

We were able to drive down to the beach and park right on the sand. We got to our spot and unloaded the car and realized we didn't have the top to our canopy. Luckily there was a beach stand close that was selling umbrellas so the day was saved. The weather was perfect, sunny and around 75 degrees. We were able to relax and let the kids play in the sand and the water. Quinn and Leo had an absolute blast. When Quinn was playing in the sand with grandma she said "arr matey, lets be pirates and find treasure." Leo loved bouncing in the water (even though it was freezing!) and filling up his bucket with sand. He also loved chasing the seagulls around. 

 

Grandma was the best and entertained the kids most of the day. 

 

These guys did the most relaxing of the group and Dave even snuck in a nap. 

 

I can't even explain how pretty it is. Plus the water is clear so I don't mind being in it because I can see my feet! 

  

 

 

 

  

 

Quinn is such a fish and I am so glad we put her in swim classes. She was doing "bobs" in the water and swimming all around on her "surfboard" as she calls it. 

 

Leo loves jumping up and down in the water. He also loves to crawl face first into the waves. He has no fear and we are going to have to really watch him around water, he makes me nervous!  

A little lake selfie because why not?! 

It was a great day and I am glad my parents were able to go with us. Both kids were passed out less than 5 minutes in the car which always means it was a fun filled day! We finished the day with milkshakes for the drive home and then stopped at Burger Bar for dinner. 

Beach days are good, life is good.
