Bear Lake revisited....

Another fun weekend up north...we won't get a really good vacation this year because Jon just started a new job and doesn't have a lot of time off, and what he does have we are saving for when the baby comes. (which will hopefully be soon!) so we have been taking these short weekend trips and they have proved to be very fun.

This weekend we headed back to Logan where we camped in Dave and Mindy's back yard. Here are my little campers way too early in the morning.
Once we got out of the tent, the neighborhood cat strolled by...much to the delight of PG! Fortunately the cat is used to children! It only hissed once after he pulled it's tail!
Mindy and I went to the farmer's market to get some berries for our trip and there was a playground so the boys took a little swing together before it was time to head home. :o)
Manda and John with their family, and Joy with her youngest 2 were supposed to meet up with us and we all were going to Bear lake to play for the day. We got a late start. But we made it up there. First stop was the Minnetonka caves. They have little tours that go down into the cave...unfortunately, we couldn't get on a tour until 4:30pm and we had to be to Pickleville playhouse at 5pm...that wasn't going to work, so this was the one pic that I got...of us driving away!

Instead we all headed down to the beach to check it out for an hour or so before the play.
Here is David-Scott playing with PG.
Here is Jon, the leader of the bucket brigade!
PG was very comfy with the whole water thing and would just walk around freely. He really liked to sit down near the shore where the water would come to his belly and wait for the waves to come in and splash him. Look at that face...that is "APPY"!!!
'Manda and I took a walk out toward the "deep" and Ashton came out to be with us...when he finally made it, he said "oh, I made it, I kept drowning under the water!" (meaning he would loose his balance and go under, but he did really well at recovery!) so we took his hand and let him float along for a little bit!
Dave could always be found with a string of kids following! The noodle was big hit!
After our fun in the sun, we went to pickleville playhouse to see a show. Mom and Dad and their friends Bill and Laura met us there. We saw the same show as last time but it was still really funny! It was also fun to be there with more family. It was a great weekend, but we were really tired!!! Thanks Manda and Joy for planning this so we all could have a great weekend together!
