Bear Lake


We all headed to Bear Lake a few weekends ago over UEA Weekend. I am so glad we were able to get away, even if it was for a just a few days. If was so beautiful up there. The fall colors were all around us.


We went on a few hikes together near Bear Lake. They were all easy enough that all the boys could walk them. It was much colder on the tops of those mountains though!




Can you see Will? Look very closely! He's right in the middle of this huge rock cliff!


Right in front of our timeshare all the trees are bright reds, oranges and yellows. My most favorite time of year!



We went to a couple of museums. We went to a park. We played tennis every day and we also fished. On the first day, everyone caught a fish. Brig's caught the largest one and was thrilled about it!


I also brought up my sewing machine with a couple of sewing projects, and my scrapbooking supplies. While the kids were swimming, watching a movie, playing outside or whatever, I was able to work on some crafts.






We also did lots and lots of swimming in their indoor heated pool, kids pool and Jacuzzi area.




I took this shot at the tennis court right after playing a game against the boys. Breathtakingly beautiful. 
And, of course, we had raspberry shakes every night for a yummy treat!!

It was a fun relaxing vacation with the fam.

Swimming


Over Spring Break, we headed to the pool at the Holladay Lions Club. It's huge! There are several pools to play in, a kids area, a diving area, and a tube to slide down. We all had a fun time, especially this cute little guy! He kept splashing around by moving his hands and feet. Preston was like a little fish in the water.

  Here are 2 short video's of our time swimming. The first is of Preston kicking around and splashing the water; and the second is of Brigham on the slide.

Swimming Time

 On Wednesday is open swim at one of our neighbors homes. Scott took Nathan for a couple of hours while me and the baby sat in the shade and watched all the fun. Nathan doesn't like to jump off the diving board but has a blast zooming down the slide.




Preston slept the entire time...

Swimming

 The main reason we went to Vegas for Spring Break was because I wanted to go somewhere warm so we could play outside in the pools! We love visiting Vegas, one of our favorite places to stop. Our Time Share has a great facility in Vegas. There are tons of pools and play areas for the kiddos.






All the boys played in the pools for hours each day...I got in twice. I focused more on my tan than playing in the water. If was fun to watch the boys play and make new friends.
THANKS VEGAS for another wonderful vacation!!!

The end of swimming lessons!

 Gavin had his last swimming class last week and he's doing great! He is almost there, I think he needs repetition and will get it in a few more visits to the pool. He was floating on his back, doing the back stroke, the breast stroke legs and of course the free swim. WAY TO GO GAVIN!!!

Of course Brigham was there playing away and having a blast!

Swimming Lessons!

 Gavin and Brigham started swimming lessons a few weeks ago. They go every Tuesday and Thursday evening and LOVE IT! They take lessons from the Holladay Lions Club, it's a huge facility!
 There is lap swimming, a jacuzzi, a Whirlpool area., a huge open area for lessons or playing...
 Slides, and 2 other play structures for children to play on. So fun!
 Gavin is almost swimming by himself, he will be ready when the summer comes!
They are having a great time and I enjoy the hour break!

Nice Neighbors


 We have some GREAT neighbors in this community! One of the families has a pool (with a diving board, slide, and lots of fun toys!!) and they open it up to us! How wonderful are they?!




 The boys love heading over to the Patten's pool and having a blast...So do I!
 Some of the cousins met us there the last time we went.
Adorable goggles Ang!! She is prepared just in case she gets thrown in! :)


Here is Kelsey modeling with her make-up running down her face. Cute Nathan didn't get in much. He enjoyed pitting on a huge inflatable chair watching us. He did jump in at the end for a few minutes of fun with mom.



THANKS again!!
