We headed to Bear Lake on Ellie’s birthday. The beach was pretty busy and our spot turned out to be pretty rocky so the kids didn’t get much use out of their new shovels. But they sure are crazy.
We found that a log had fallen off the top of the barn in the last two months since Miriam and fam had stayed here. It’s sad to see that the barn may not make it forever, but it’s still holding up pretty well. It would be fun to find out exactly how old this barn is. I don’t think we’ll be letting the kids play in there anymore though. I bet that is one heavy log that came crashing down!
Our new hammock was once again a favorite. Ellie and Abby sat in it for hours doing math. Yep, math on vacation! Even Ryan and Tate joined in the math lessons for a while.
Turns out Dave takes a chainsaw everywhere he goes! He made quick work out of that old log.

Benson didn’t really want to swim this time. He did hang onto the ladder a lot to get wet.
Ellie couldn’t get enough of the water though!
How many people does it take to start a campfire?
Ellie gets a little silly after a day on the boat!
Bensons favorite part of the whole trip.
