Bear Lake 2009

We had yet another fun vacation up at my Uncle's cabin. It is always nice to be able to get away to The Creamery. It is one place that I can go with all of my kids and not feel that I am going crazy. We went over Valentine's weekend. This time, Carly brought all of her roommates. When they arrived to the cabin, Sammie asked who they were and Carly said, "These are my ROOMMATES." Sammie's reply to that was, "Oh, your MERMAIDS." I guess that they sound similar. For the rest of the weekend, all the girls were referred to as Carly's mermaids. They loved it. Sammie spent most of her time following them around.



When we go to the cabin we try to bring a few things for the kids to do in case they start getting a little stir crazy. Lindsay brought a bunch of pipe cleaners, and made the kids glasses, tiaras, necklaces, and flowers. Lindsay also decorated cookies with the kids. She made them a special cookie that was the first letter of their names and they got to put whatever they wanted on them.



I have to explain this picture to you. The first time that Sammie and Jake went to the cabin they sat in this little Winnie the Pooh car and had us push them around. They were only 10 months old. Each time we have gone since we end up taking a picture of them. It is fun to see how big they are getting. I don't know how much longer they will fit in the car.



This was the twins first trip to Idaho. Matt felt like it was a big moment since Idaho is so much better than Utah (or so I am CONSTANTLY told). They did awesome and slept through the night. It was a pretty relaxing trip.

How fun, I need to get Andy up to Bear Lake. Darling idea about pipe cleaners, we will have to add that to an activity. Glad to hear it was a relaxing and fun trip!

Now I do have something to say about Idaho...I will always have a found love for the state since my daughter was born there but honestly how can it really be better than UTAH? Really!!? I will have to chat with Matt about that! :)
Looks like you guys had fun! Are you bringing the twins next weekend? I want to see them again sooo bad!!

Idaho is pretty amazing, it's true. But I think I'd prefer to live here and just visit our family and friends there.

I about died when I saw the picture of Sammy and Jake. They're so stinkin cute! What a great tradition to go up to the cabin. It sounds like it was a much needed and well deserved break for you, Brynn. I'm so happy you got to go.
