bear lake 2011.

some people think fun at a lake has to involve boats, jet skis, and the like. we are satisfied with an umbrella, some floaties, and a well-stocked cooler.

our girls trip to bear lake was so fun. the day included the traditional stop in logan for subway sandwiches, perfect weather, shady parking spot, 5 hours at the beach, showers at the marina, cafe sabor for dinner, and a beautiful sunset on our drive home.

serena had a blast digging in the sand, collecting seashells, bothering heather, floating on the lake, and sneaking lots of cookies. i enjoyed laughing with my mom and sisters, soaking up the sun, loving the beautiful view, and watching serena love my favorite lake.

looking forward to introducing harper to the lake next year!

harper is loving finger foods these days, and peaches are a big hit.

they are a big hit for me too. lucky for us, they are in season!
