Bear Lake

We got home from our Washington visit on a Tuesday and then we decided to take a trip to Bear Lake that weekend. So after lots of unpacking, laundry and cleaning I packed us all up again to leave on Friday after Tyrel got home from work. We got to Bear Lake Friday night and were planning on going on a bike ride before bedtime, but it started to rain, bummer! Saturday morning we woke up to some sunshine so after a nice breakfast together we went on our bike ride. We took Tytyn to the playground to push him in the swing, he loves that! Then we rode over to the Pickleville Playhouse to see if they had any shows going on that night. We were in luck, it was their opening night! They put on some really awesome plays there! So if you ever get the chance to take a trip to Bear Lake, I would highly suggest you check this place out! It was about time for Tytyn's nap so we headed back to the condo. After he woke up and we had some lunch together, Tyrel and I decided to face off in miniature golf. In case you didn't know, Tyrel and I are pretty competitive, so sometimes its better to not play games together ha ha. Tyrel won...this time! I'll get him next time, but it was fun nonetheless. We then decided it was warm enough to go swimming in the pool, Tytyn has never been in one, so we changed and headed down there to play with him. He seemed to like it, especially when I went under the water and popped up and said peek-a-boo! After some fun in the pool it was already time for buddy's 2nd nap. During his nap I had to make 3 dozen homemade rolls for Logan's welcome home which was the next day. After making the dough and putting it in a bowl to rise I realized I didn't have a rolling pin!!! I asked some neighbors at the condo and nobody had one, but one lady said well how about if we duct tape 2 pop cans together, would that work?! Why not?! Ha ha so yes, I did roll out 3 dozen rolls with 2 pop cans duct taped together, and YES it was a pain in the butt! But it got the job done, it just took a little extra time. I won't be forgetting that anytime soon. After Tytyn woke up and we had some dinner we headed to the play which was to start at 8. Tytyn's bedtime is at 7:30, but we decided we didn't do this kind of thing everyday, so we'd see how he did. He did SO awesome! The play lasted til a little after 10 and he stayed awake, clapped, and danced and really liked it. I got lots of compliments from people sitting around us that they couldn't believe how well behaved he is and good he did during the whole thing. I am one lucky Mama! He is a pretty easy going boy! Well we were exhausted from our fun day and went home and climbed in bed. The next morning we had to leave pretty early to make it back to Blackfoot by 11 for Logan's welcome home speech in Sacrament. After church we had a luncheon at the school for Logan and lots of family and friends. Afterwards we went back to Tyrel's parents house and visited and hung out. It was a great weekend! Sorry for the long post, but this is also a journal of sorts for me and I don't want to forget the fun month that we've had!

Tyrel was enjoying a nap and Tytyn was giving Daddy a love:)

Ready to go swimming!
