Bear Lake 2011



We recently took our annual trip to Bear Lake. Because of the high water level, there wasn't much beach this year. Luckily, we had this tiny bit of beach right next to our campground. As you can see, the babies loved to sit and play in the sand. It kept them happy for quite some time.











Hank decided he wanted to be a big boy and sit at the little picnic table.



Love this picture!!



Kylee had fun eating lunch at our "restaurant". The kids would come up to our camper's screen door, slide the little door open and tell us what they wanted to order and what number they were. I think we played that everyday. They loved it!



Sayer and Dewey before they got pulled around the lake. A big wave ended up going over the top of them and Dewey fell off. He was pretty scared and it was scary to watch him struggle from the boat. Lets just say, it might take a while for him to get back in a tube again.



Hank on Grandma and Grandpa's boat. He's not loving the life jacket!! I don't think we really even could have done up the top snap because of those chubby cheeks.




He finally gave in and just fell asleep.




Not only did Hank love playing in the sand, but also the dirt.




This is the whole Will McBride and Janet Henscheid families.




Relaxing in the campground. Dewey asked me if the tent in the background was a temple. :)



Kandice ended up getting some really good pictures of Sean on the wake board. He gets a little better each time we go out. Gotta love the smile on his face!









I have to thank Kandice for getting such a cute picture of my kiddos. I love it!!





All of the younger McBride cousins on the water weenie. A very cute group of kids and they love being with each other.




What the last picture didn't show was their older cousin Triston was pulling them around. He ended up pulling them for quite some time. The older cousins are so good to the younger ones. This was a really fun trip!!

4th of July


We started our day out with the annual 4th of July breakfast. The kids got to decorate their bikes and then ride them in a bike parade.


The Bishop brought his horses for the kids to ride.



We actually got Dewey to ride a horse this year, although he was still pretty nervous.



After breakfast, we loaded up and met the McBride's in Ririe. We took turns on the boat and the kids did a lot of tubing.






Uncle Brett was nice enough to let the little boys drive the boat.













Sean took his turn for a little more of a wild ride. :)



After boating, we came home and let the kids light off their fireworks. This is not the greatest picture, but it shows Hank's excitement as a firework was going off. We ended up having a really fun day. It's always fun to go out on the boats and enjoy time with the family.



Hallie's Baptism

On Saturday, July 2, Hallie was baptised. We asked our neighbor Lona Sorensen to play the piano. Hallie really likes Lona and she was thrilled to play at her baptism. Grandma Packer gave the talk on Baptism. After the baptism, our Bishop told us that Hallie got ready in world record time. :) Following the baptism, Grandma McBride gave a talk on the Holy Ghost.










We had a barbecue afterwards with family and friends. Hallie got some new scriptures with her name engraved on them.


She also got a new scripture case, books to fill out about her baptism and some really cute necklaces. We really do have a lot of great family members and friends that care about our family. It was a great day!!
