Bear Lake

We surprised Nate's family by showing up at Bear Lake two weeks ago. They were having their annual McKinstry family reunion since everyone else was going to be in town. We were originally not going to attend because of getting time off work and the cost, but then we decided to. Nate's mom a few weeks ago found out that she was having kidney problems and ended up in the ICU for a few days. When Nate talked to his mom a few Sundays ago she did not sound that great, so the next day he woke up and mentioned driving to Utah.
Well we decided to spend Tuesday and Wednesday with his family at the beautiful Bear Lake. I love the color of this water. I did not have a camera with me when I came down the canyon, it is the prettiest color of blue. On Tuesday we went swimming and rented jet skis, the kids loved going on them. I feel bad that we did not get any pictures of Wesley in the water. He absolutely loved being in the water and splashing around.
On Wednesday we were going to go to a cave and it was going to be too long of a wait with little kids. We ended up getting shakes..I ended up getting the famous Raspberry shake..it was delicious. Then we had family home evening and took pictures. Nate's sister did a really cute FHE. She had everyone take pictures of their feet on pavement and then everyone had to match the two feet. Then his other sister had everyone fill out questionnaires about their kids and we had to figure out who it was. Chandler was pretty bummed out that we did not have feet up on the wall..since we were late deciding to come. They were nice enough to let us wear others shirts to get pictures in..since they did not order any for our family..coming late has disadvantages. We had a really good time seeing all of his siblings that are spread through the country.
