Labor Day Weekend at Bear Lake

We love spending Labor Day at Bear Lake every year.  We did some boating, swimming, game playing, bike riding, mini golfing, and time at the park.  My Dad is getting better and better at surfing. 

Misty invited her boyfriend Devin to come.  He was a really good sport and Zack was happy to have another male around.

The park. 

Shooting rockets. 

And our nice bike ride.  (I was 18 weeks pregnant.)

Bear Lake Labor Day Weekend

We usually go up to Bear Lake every Labor Day weekend.  This year my parents were out of the country so we went up with the Meldrums, Misty, and Karlie.  We had a lot of fun hanging out, playing games, and eating lots of yummy food!

We spent a lot of time at the park.

 And we had to get our end-of-summer pool time in.

 Peyton steps off the side rather than jumping.

 Some wiffle ball action.

 In case you can't tell, Zack's shirt says "suns out guns out."

 We had to get the old ephraim, it's tradition. 

My girls loved having the Meldrum kids there.  Alyssa really loves Peyton.

 On Monday the weather wasn't great so we went to the Minnetonka Cave.  We got there close to lunch time and the wait was an hour and a half and the tour was about that long too.  We decided the kids were not going to make it so we took some pictures and left. 

Labor Day Weekend

My family spends Labor Day weekend up at Bear Lake every year as kind of an end-of-summer hurrah.  We went up with them and had so much fun.

Parker and Rylee joined us for a day.  We played badminton and went out on my parents' new boat.  Parker rocked the wakeboard even with the impending rain/lightning storm.

We got caught in the storm and had to head in.  The men were planning on golfing that afternoon and got rained out.  Not uncommon for Labor Day weekend.

We went to church, watched movies, played horse, and just hung out.  

Peyton fell asleep on my Dad which is a small miracle.  He must have the magic touch.

The weather on Monday was perfect.  We got some pool time in.  Berkley was even brave enough to go down the slide a few times.

We went boating for (probably) the last time.  All of us wanted to go so we took Peyton (we normally don't take babies on the boat.)

 

Peyton pretty much slept through the whole thing.  Apparently the boat puts all children to sleep...

 

And adults too...

 We tried surfing behind the boat for the first time.  Something we couldn't do behind our old boat.  Even my Dad did it.  He's pretty hard core.  We're not good enough to throw in the rope yet.  Maybe next summer. 

Although the actual surfing was fun, my favorite part was the falling pictures.  We got some good ones.  

Berkley loved cheering everybody on.  Her favorite part of boating is the snacks.

I couldn't leave without one last wakeboard run.

And, of course, we stopped by Bear Lake Pizza and LaBeau's on our way out.
