Bear Lake

So, we've never been to Bear Lake before and DESPERATLY need a getaway. So, we packed up our bags and headed to the KOA Campgound for the week. We stayed in a cabin, Dustin said it was smaller than a shed, but I kept telling everyone it was our 'luxury suite''. I made the boys stand in front of it to show you the 'massive' size. The boys were so confused why it didn't have a bathroom in it...but I told them it was all part of the adventure. Then they thought it was awesome and wanted to go as much as they could. We had SOOOO much fun up there. None of us wanted to come home, it was hard leaving. I LOVE our little family get togethers. The boys didn't fight once! Getting away is just a good reminder to them that they really do love each other. I think we'll make a yearly traditon.

They had teh funniest bikes that you could rent. The first night we got a 6 seater, but in this picture we got a bench seat that fit three and then shoved the Jace and Ky in the basket in the front. It was so fun cruising around town in it, picking up shakes and eating them as we pedaled (I should say, as DUSTIN peadaled.)
Every time we got a bike, this is how Ky reacted. He LOVED them!

Each night we rented the boys a banana bike. They would haul butt around the whole campground loving every minute of it. Each night they were completly exhausted.

We had to get a little mini-golf time in. The boys each had a list of things they thought we had to do, this was one of them. Lyckily we finished each of their lists by the last day.

We hiked to some amazingly beautiful springs in Paris Idaho. I'm scary without my makeup on, but I love the look on Ky's face. He looks pissed.

These natural springs were amazing! I've never seen anything like it. We are stangin right were the water pours out of the ground. 10 feet behind us is bone dry. The spring is raging out of a crack in the ground. It was so beautiful there.

Kyson's just happy he isn't in the water. He HATED being at the beach or pool.

We took a long torturous ride (for my neck anyway) to an ice cave. It was 90 degrees outside but when you duck into a crevass, it opens up in to a huge room full of ice. It is freezing in there...like being shoved in a freezer. Ky is scared of the sounds of water too, so the dripping noises made him nervous. Me, Ky and Jace hung out outside of the cave taking pictures of each other while Dust and Drey explored.

Another fun day at the beach. The weather was perfect! I love this picture and seeing the happiness on the boys' faces. Taking another bike ride. Ky is our bobblehead hood ornamant. He's looking back wondering what we were all laughing at.

Our 6-seater bike. The first time we rented one, we got chased buy a dog. Me and the two boys held out feet in the air and were screaming/laughing so hard. Dustin was pedaling as fast as he could go. I thought we were going to tip over on the turns. That dog was FAST! It nipped Dustins feet a couple of times. It was hilarious!!! I bet we looked so funny! The boys think it was the highlight of the trip! We laughed about it the rest of the week.

I love my little fam so much! It was so fun to spend time with them. No sports, no friends, no tv or internet...just us. Dustin is always so stessed at work so it was nice to have him relax for a bit. I can't wait to do it again next year!
