At Summers End

I have been in denial about summer ending and fall approaching. I think it had more to do with not wanting to accept that school was starting which we've really been dreading at this house.  Now that he's a week into the new school year, there isn't much I can do to change that. SO, I embraced it, and we had one last fling before Autumn hits.

We spent the Labor Day weekend in Bear Lake.  It was amazing! We were with our friend's, Blake and Chantel Merrell and her sister, Janae.  We stayed in Clover Leaf campground up St. Charles Canyon and it was so nice! We spent Saturday at the North Beach playing in the sand and with the wave runners Blake and Chantel brought.
Sunday we drove back to Logan for church and then went back up afterwards.  It was SO cold that night! Luckily Monday wasn't too terribly cold, but it was chillier. We went up to Minnetonka Cave for a tour that morning and our friends, the Smith's, met us up there.
We ate lunch, broke up camp, and then wandered around Garden City and such before heading home. It was a bit hectic but SO FUN! And very memorable.  A perfect ending to a fabulous summer!

AT THE LAKE

I tell Tianna to smile for the camera and her first reaction is to get down and lay sexy like in the water. What the heck?!

She was in HEAVEN at the beach! She played for 3 or 4 solid hours in the sand and water. Luke did take her on a wave runner ride and she really enjoyed it too! We also attempted to fly her kite for a bit but the wind kicked up really fast and really hard. 

Miss Adelia also loved the beach. I tried so hard to get a picture of her holding still, but unlike Tianna, she's not much of a poser. :) But she thoroughly enjoyed herself running, splashing, and EATING SAND! Ew. 

I love this picture! 

This too was very precious-- Tianna was leading Adelia all around, hand in hand. I think they will grow up to be best friends. *let's hope!*

I had a wonderful time, myself. I loved seeing my girls play, riding the wave runner, and hugging my hunk-husband!

Luke REALLY enjoyed the wave runners. He and Blake especially liked it when the wind kicked up and the waves got really big. Both regretted it a bit the next 2 days when they were sore, head to toe! :)
