Our day trip to Bear Lake was a huge hit with the kids. They had never been before and were quite impressed. The lake has receeded drastically since Jeff and I were kids but it was still a beautiful blue. We ate lunch and played in the water for hours. The kids could walk out as far as they dared and it never got above their waists. The wind was blowing just enough to make it pleasant and it created waves, even though they were pretty tiny. With the sand and sea shells on the beach, we called it our little ocean. Katie built her own sand castle decorated with sea shells, complete with a moat and seaweed flag. She was really sad to leave it behind. Josh's favorite thing was running in and out of the waves, arms and legs flailing in all directions, screaming as loud as possible. Our perfect day at the beach was only complete after a couple of fresh raspberry shakes!
