Grandma and Grandpa Largey decided it was time to take a little trip with the WHOLE family so they worked their connections and got two condos up by Bear Lake for us to crash in while we played! It was great fun. We arrived (late because of U vs USU game traffic!) Friday night to swim and eat yummy pizza (ranch sauce? Yes!) at Grandma and Grandpa's condo down the hill. Then we headed up to the big condo to stay with all the siblings for the rest of the week end.
In the morning, our little family woke up (earlier than everyone else, of course) to hike the 'Limber Pine' trail above Bear Lake.
It was a chilly morning so we were glad we had our jackets! As you can tell, we were in good spirits...
It was a little hike- mile round trip- but this is the famous 560 year old limber pine tree which was thought to be the biggest in the world, until they realized it's actually 5 trees grown together. Anyway, it was ...neat. :)
We headed back to the condo where people were slowly waking up, getting breakfast and packing up to head to the lake. We spent the next 6 hours:
Digging in the sand
Making castles, volcanoes, dolphins and mermaids.
Being cute
and stylish
and DIRTY. But we didn't care. The big boys rented jet skiis for four long hours... and then they got one more hour just for fun. I took my turn on the jet ski and we stopped to look at some awesome huge fish in the beautiful clear water- and then we tipped over. After that I was just cold and ready to go. I know, I'm just not the beach kind of person the Largey family is! Zach definitely had a blast though, and even took the kids out for a couple rides. Weston loved it, Hyrum did not. Afton was just squished inbetween Zach and Weston so I'm not sure she even realized she was going anywhere. But, we did have fun creating in the sand and floating in the rafts (I'd take a raft over a jet ski any day!)
That night Zach cooked up some Tom Kha and we played games and watched movies. The next morning we got ready for church and walked down the boardwalk to the beach. It was so beautiful!
