Bear Lake - July 14, 2015

Tuesday - July 14th

We finally made it to Bear Lake this year.  I can't believe it took us so long to get here.  We love playing at Bear Lake.  It was a good day.  We had a lot of fun.

Before we left, we stopped to get some raspberry milkshakes.  They were so yummy!  I think we need to make that a tradition and get them every time we go to Bear Lake.

Walking and Playing on the Playground - July 11, 2015

Saturday - July 11th

Alissa and I are trying to start a routine where we go walking in the morning.  We haven't been wonderful at it.  Erin wants to do it also, and it is easier for her if we go and walk around her neighborhood.  This Morning, Brinley and Parker came along with us.  We decided to walk around the sidewalk at North Park Elementary.  That way, if anybody got bored with it, they could play on the playground.

We walked for a little bit, then spent time playing on the playground.  The playground was much more fun than the waking.  It was a nice morning and it felt really good outside.

We set up the pool so we could play outside some more today.

Face Painting - July 10, 2015

Friday - July 10th

Brinley's friend Onnika came to play today.  Brinley and her found some face crayon things and got a little carried away.  They are funny. 

 Alissa and Erin were chillin' in the living room playing Minecraft.

Parker decided to join in on the face painting fun.

They scrubbed the paint off of their faces and played dress up.  Each time they got a new dress on, they came downstairs for a quick photo shoot.  They were funny with their posses.

Minecraft - July 8, 2015

Wednesday - July 8th

Parker and Brinley wanted me to take a picture of their Minecraft creations.  They made Utah.

 I found these pictures on my phone.  I don't know when they were taken.  I just thought I'd share.

We're Home! - July 5, 2015

Sunday - July 5th

We decided to head home today.  We had a really fun vacation!  Before we got on the road, we needed to stop at a gift shop for Anastasia.  She didn't get a chance to buy souvenirs for her family yet.  Since we were in the area, we stopped to take pictures in the big chair at the Montana Vortex.  The sprinklers were going, so we couldn't take pictures with the wooden bears.

The drive home wasn't bad.  We got a picture of this beautiful rainbow after driving through a storm.  We had fun racing each other as we entered Idaho and Utah.  That was pretty entertaining.  Alissa had prepared a lot of travel games to play and that made things better also.

We're happy to be home.  Anastasia's Dad is coming to pick her up from our house tomorrow.
