The weather was much nicer this Monday, so we decided to go to Bear Lake again. We had such a nice day relaxing on the beach. Last year when we went, we didn't have an umbrella and we desperately needed shade. This year we had lots of shade with us and it was so nice.
Parker spent most of his time playing on the beach in the sand. The girls spent most of their time out in the water. Roger and I put our chairs out in the water and relaxed for a bit.
Eventually Roger got tired. His body is used to sleeping during the day. It will be so nice when he can be on a regular schedule again. Anyways, he got tired, so he made himself a little space to sleep in the bed of the truck. It was nice for him to have a place to take a nap.
Alissa and Parker had a lot of fun burying their dad's feet in the sand. It was funny watching Roger see if he could lean forward or backward and not tip over. He had a hard time getting his feet out, when they were done. That was also funny to watch.
Around 5:00 pm, it got really windy. Pretty much, everybody packed up their things and left around that time. Parker and Brinley had a lot of fun chasing after the seagulls while we loaded our stuff in the truck.
Alissa realized she was starving, so she hurried and ate a little snack before we all loaded into the truck.
On the way home from Bear Lake we had to pass through a ton of cows. It was fun to see all the cows, an adventure to try and get through them, and disgusting, since they smelled and they were all pooping everywhere. I didn't think to pull out the camera until after we passed them. These pictures don't do them any justice. You can't tell that there were a lot of cows.
As we drove through Logan Canyon, we were all feeling sick. We were so hungry. We decided to stop and eat dinner at a campground a long the way. It was the Red Baron Campground (or red something - I'm not sure what the name was. I just know it started with Red). It was very beautiful. We decided that we will go camping there as soon as we get a chance.
We got home, just in time for Alissa to take a quick shower then go babysitting. Alissa has her first babysitting job. She tends her friend, Malaiyha's little sister, while her mom goes to the gym. Malaiyha is the friend that is spending the summer at her dad's house. Anyways, Alissa is loving her new babysitting job. She is so excited for a way to make money. She feels rich!
The girls and I ended getting pretty bad sunburns. Next time we will be better with the sunscreen.

This is the first day of Roger's 10 day vacation for the 4th of July. Since things didn't work out for Parker to go to scout camp on Monday (because he is the only boy his age, they don't have a leader for him, so they forget to invite him to things - no matter how many people I ask about it, nothing ever gets done), Roger decided to take Parker with him to Dan's house so they could have a boys weekend. They had a lot of fun. when it was time for them to come home, things got not so fun and it was a good thing they were there to be supportive and help out. Dan's wife had a miscarriage. They were really sad and Dan wanted roger to stay a while longer, so they could hang out and he could keep his mind off of things.
While the boys were gone, Alissa, Brinley, and I just hung out. We didn't have a lot of money to spend,but we wanted to do something different. Alissa had money from babysitting, so she offered to buy us something. So, Alissa, Brinley, and I walked to McDonald's. Alissa was so excited to buy herself a big combo meal. she had never had one before and she got a different kind of burger. I think it was a Bacon Ranch cheeseburger. She loved it! She was so excited to be able to order what she wanted and she felt so proud to be able to buy some ice cream for Brinley and me. It was fun. Here is Alissa's very first receipt that she got from buying something with her own money for the very first time. Exciting, huh !?!
