I really like living so close to Bear Lake. It is one of my favorite places to go hang out with friends. We went up with friends a few times and then with the Barton side of the family. Here's what we did for our last "Hurrah" before school started.
My friend, Amy, invited me and the kids to come up with her and her kids to stay for a few days at her timeshare condo. The kids always have so much fun playing in the sand and lake. It was nice to be able to stay a few days and not feel like we had to rush back home. Thanks for the good times, Amy and girls!

| We told Landon he couldn't have a brownie until he ate his carrots. He didn't want them since we didn't have ranch. Amy found some ketchup packets in her car. Hey, he ate them...and got his brownie! |
We got home from that trip to Bear Lake on Friday around 11:00 in the morning. Then Rob's parents, siblings and their families came to our house for dinner that evening, and the next morning we headed to Bear Lake again! Fun times!

| This picture shows the reason Landon is now sportin' a nice tan line about 2 inches wide above his waistline. Poor thing got fried right there! |
 |
| Ah, now this is the life! I was so tired since I ran 12 miles earlier that morning training for a half marathon. It was so nice to take a little nap! |
| After Bear Lake we gathered at Grandpa and Grandma's for dinner and the annual photo... |
