Bear Lake

On Saturday we went to Bear lake, found a little state park that had a shelter and some grass to lounge on.

They had a water fight. I hid behind the baby, but my bro law snuck up behind me and got me in the back. He's lucky cuz I had just put Reagan in the car seat and if I had moved at all, he would have hit Reagan in the face. The little skinny kid in the photo is Logan.

How cute is she?! Love the little nose scrunch.

We had fun, got sunburned, but after weeks and weeks of rain the sunshine is very welcome.

Montpelier and Paris

On Friday we took a drive and went to Montpelier for some things. Saw where Butch Cassidy robbed the bank. It's pretty funny, the smaller print says that a sheriff borrowed a bicycle to pursue the robbers. Funny visual.

This used to be the bank. (hey! you can see our reflection in the window. hello us!)

We then went to the big city of Paris and took a tour of the tabernacle.

So amazing they built this.

And a river runs through it....

We went boating, I mean camping to emigration campground, near Montpelier/bear lake area, over the weekend. It was a real pretty drive, the tops of the mountains had snow on them and the base was all green, very pretty. As we are driving and climbing up the mountain we notice snow on the sides of the road. Didn't think much of it, kinda laughed, "wouldnt it be funny if we had snow in the campground?" pulling into the campground we saw this next to the road.

This water is running at a pretty good pace. Drive in further and see this:

No campground host. huh..strange. And yes that is a pile of snow.

This is the road, this is running water...

This is the site we had reserved. This is the trail to go up to the table and firepit. It is now a stream.

This is our table and firepit, the ground is all muddy and marshy

Road in the next loop over. Again, running water...

Different campsites firepit, filled with water.

I think this picture is pretty.

We were able to find a dry area and since we were the only ones there, we took it. There were 2-3 other campers that showed up over the weekend but they had trailers, (oh that's what I forgot, my house) so the ground wasn't too big of an issue for them. The campground host came the first day we were there and said he had to push snow off the roads on Monday (we went thursday) and they have a 300% snow pack. Crazy!

The "kitchen"

Our tent in the background, yes that is snow on the right, its melted down quite a bit.
