One of our favorite places to be

I think summer might finally be here. With the cool weather, 2 weeks of swine flu, a week of Shawn biking with the scouts and a week of family vacation at Bear Lake, we haven't really gotten into the "groove" of summer. Here's to hoping we can find some sort of a routine in our nonstructured summer days. (Don't get me wrong, I love the unstructured days of summer!)

 Here are a few photos from the annual Marsh Family Bear Lake trip.

For most of the time, it was my parents and Jake, us, and Rob and Michelle's family.  Matt and Anne and their kids joined us for the last couple of days.

We did quite a bit of boating.  We were a little worried about how that was going to work out with Peter, but he was awesome.  We just put him in his life jacket and tucked him down on the floor under the seat and he was happy as a clam once the boat was in motion.

The kids enjoyed playing in the water and sand anytime we brought the boat into the beach - Amelia especially.

Everyone seemed to have fun with the "hot dog".  I happen to hate these things and think they are way too dangerous but I guess it's OK as long as we go slow or there's only one rider.  Both Shawn and Jake participated in this extreme form of "hotdogging".

I preferred trying the new surf board.  As always there was plenty to do.  There was also swimming, sitting in the hot tub, tennis, kiteflying, biking, card playing, reading, and general running around and lying around having fun.
