We had the chance to go down to Bear Lake twice during August! The kids had so much fun playing with cousins and enjoying the mild summer.
We made a trip over to the east side of the lake where we got to play on a private beach and not have to deal with all the Raspberry Days crowds on the public beaches.
It was warm as far as Bear Lake goes, but my kids were still a little shocked at the temp.
But Tia's little girl, Ryleigh, didn't seem to mind at all. Fact it, we had to catch her a few times as she bailed out of the floaty boat.
Peyton and Bentley took their turn in the boat too. Bentley was not so sure!
Ryleigh had a great time....until she decided she was hungry and crashed while drinking her bottle.
Charly had a great time....as long as she wan't in the water. It took some coxing to get her wet.
Once she was there, she didn't want to move the that exact spot.
The older kids, Britnee, Chris, Cody, and Wyatt, had a blast playing in the water, then migrated to the beach where they proceeded to make sand castles.
After a little while, and lots of fun, my kids started getting a bit cool and a little tired.
Charly really didn't mind it after a while, not that you can tell by this picture.
All 3 of us girls don't get together often, and even less often do we actually remember to take a picture while together.
And Tara, the scrapbooker and blogger always complains that she doesn't have any pictures of the two of us so we took the chance to click this one too.
Then we had to get mom in there as well. Us goofy girls!
My Charly darling turned 1 on August 8th!!! She is such a cute little girl and so fun to have in our family. She is so easy going and as the youngest of 4, she is quite patient. She shares her birthday with our good friend, Debbie so we did a combined party.
Charly loved her cake.....
And frosting! She was so cute.
Can't believe she's one already.
New toys are always the rave in our house! Charly really liked this toy and it has lets so she can stand next to it......and push it around. But she's not walking alone yet so it makes a good "walker".
Grannie Annie and Grandpa Dayn happened to be out of town on Charly's birthday, so they threw her another little party when they got home.
She was so funny to watch open her presents.
She was not so happy when it came to her cake.....she cried when we took the candle out.
Our second trip to Bear Lake was for a family reunion. We had a chance to ride on a horse drawn wagon around St. Charles as a group and sing songs and enjoy the beautiful sun set. My kids weren't sure at first, but once we were done, they didn't want to be finished.
Peyton and Brooklyn are only 5 months difference in age and they LOVE spending every bit of time they can together.
Our Pugmire reunion was a blast. We had paints for face painting that us children at heart got participate in:)
Aunt Tara was the official "sandman". She rocked and sang both of these two to sleep and got them laid down without waking up. It had been a long day for them.
Charly was so much fun to show off and everyone had a good time.
Tara and Matt were nice enough to let me and my 4 youngins to stay in her trailer while we were down there and being that they wake up pretty early in the morning, we would stay in the trailer until we knew everyone else was up. Snacks was a good way to keep them busy until they could go start a new day playing with their cousins.
Zoe and Charly have become good friends. And as long as Zoe doesn't take Charly's feet out from under her, she doesn't mind at all having her in the house.
