Bear Lake Trip 2016

Every since Tim and I have been together ( which is 9 years this year) we have spent a week in the Summer with his family up at his parents Bear Lake cabin. 

This is something Tim has been  doing since he was Mason's age, so it is a long time tradition in their family. Tim's family has 2 boats so we spend most our days out on the lake. 

This year was no different. Bear Lake is known for it's crystal blue water. It is one of the colder lakes, but the kids don't care one bit. They enjoyed tubing behind the boat, playing on the beach and taking boat rides throughout the lake. 

 We can't forget the famous bear lake raspberry shakes that we always end up getting, visitng the lighthouse, and just playing at the cabin.  

Also, one of my absolute favorite runs is running from the top of Garden City to the Bear Lake Marina each morning during sunrise. I love watching the sun rise as I make my early morning run to the marina. ( it is just over 4 miles) and I feel like I conquer the world after I get done. It is one of the best highlights of the entire week for me. ( other than spending quality time my family without TV and WIFI ) 

We had a great week in Bear Lake.

We didn't have much time to go exploring,  so we will be back for Labor Day, just Tim, I and the kids so we can explore the Minnetonka cave, the glacier, and Ice cave in Paris,Idaho.
