As per family tradition, we got to spend a few days up at Bear Lake with Brad's immediate and extended family. The Bitner family has been going to Bear Lake over the 24th of July ever since Brad was a little boy. My family also has been going every summer for as long as I can remember, so both Brad and I think it is the perfect vacation spot. We consider it a parental truimph that now our kids love Bear Lake as much as we do.
The condos we stayed in surround this big, grassy field that is perfect for mini-baseball games (at least Casey thinks so). He rounded up as many kids as he could whenever there was a spare minute and organized these baseball games. Adam especially LOVED this.
Down at the beach the kids had fun getting as sandy as possible. Here is Hannah in her mud hole.
This is a rare moment when Pepper was actually on the beach. He got brave this year and spent a lot of time in the water, swimming out to the buoy or paddling around on the tube.
Livvy gives the mud hole a try. That's what's nice about the beach - the kids can get as dirty as they want, and Moms don't care because the lake is right there to rinse off in.
After much work and creative-juices-flowing, this sand castle was completed. Here the design team (Livvy, Issac, Taevyn, Emma, Jessica, Tiana, and Luke) shows off their masterpiece.
Gabe, Livvy, Pepper, Taevyn, and Adam warm up on the tube.
Back at the condo, Lukie and Gabers show off their cool shades!
Thank you to Great-grandma and -grandpa Bitner who make this trip possible every year. So fun!

Did the lake get any warmer in the five years since I've been there?? We're heading there with the family in a week or so. Looks as fun for your kids and their cousins as it was for us. I'm so glad Brad is back with your family!
