The first day of school was also our 11th anniversary! 
We went out to breakfast at Bernardino's.



Kinley is the only kid at home now!
She has been watching Elsa every day.


I joined the gym! They have a kids club but Kinley cried a ton on the first day 
I bribed her with a donut if she didn't cry the next day and it worked great!

Made it to Bear lake!


The cabin was awesome


And had a great view


Lunch at LeBeaus



At the Minnetonka caves


The whole group




The kids did great





There were 888 stairs to climb




Lunch at El Sabor.
The kids pretty much just ate French fries throughout this trip.


Bear Lake!


This lake was so great for kids. 
The shallow part went on forever and the water was pretty warm.



Playing in the toy room at the cabin


We saw tons of deer around the cabin and on our walks at night


Pizza for dinner



Hanging out on the back deck


Limber Pine Nature trail hike



It was only 1 mile, so it was fun and easy, even for the kids

Grandpa playing with the grandkids



All the grandkids together and smiling!


We stopped at Roolee Boutique to check out the clothes


Tracy gave us a Sees candy gift card so we spent it right away, and ate most of the candy on the drive home.


In between Baker and Barstow on our way home, we were stopped for about 30 minutes. Turned out this semi had caught on fire.


The temperature inside when we got home. 
We had such a wonderful time at Bear Lake with everyone and are super glad we went!
