Bear Lake

Last week Addie and I went to Bear Lake to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Dexter while Jason finished up his finals. We spent some time with Paige and Taylor before they went off to girl's camp, and Allen came up for a day to help get the business going. Addie met Grandma and Grandpa Frost and even Aunt Jeri and Uncle Russ. It was all very exciting. Of all the people she met, though, her favorite was her Uncle Michael:

They had a drooling contest (which Michael won) and he decided to put himself in charge of teaching her all of the big words (like contamination and eradicate).

On the 24th, Jason was able to come down and even brought Kim so she could have some fun with us. We were all able to go to the beach, which was very cold but a lot of fun. Addie slept the whole time, while Michael attempted to swim across the lake, and then he and Kim buried Jason in the sand.

Isn't Bear Lake gorgeous? I love the blue water and the mountains surrounding the lake, it's just such a difference from Rexburg. Michael doesn't look too bad either (ooh la la!).

Yes, this is Jason. Doesn't he look . . .well, . . ? Michael and Kim were trying to make him look like a rather large woman. It doesn't show it too well here, but it was pretty awesome in person.

All in all, it was a really fun trip. We're lucky to have family so close and in such a fun place!
