Our Vacation to Bear Lake, UT June 2009



I know I'm long overdue for a post. I needed to relearn how to get pictures off the camera again. I know, I know. This time I wrote the steps down. I hope to better in the future.

To celebrate our 15th anniversary/family summer vacation, we decided to visit somewhere new. We went to Bear Lake, UT. Wow, is it beautiful there or what?!! The color of the lake reminded me of our Caribbean cruise. Yes, it was that clear and bright blue. However, it was as cold as the Columbia River, so we didn't swim there much. The kids were fascinated by the shells that were absolutely everywhere on the beach. In fact I would say that we were walking on shells, not sand.

Some other things we did were: swimming at the resort pool, eat chocolate covered raspberries (you must visit The Chocolate Bear if you visit, yummy store), eat raspberry shakes, climb 888 steps in the Minnetonka Cave, visit the Paris Ice Caves (saw several dead rats floating there), visit Wilford Woodruff's home, and visited the Paris Tabernacle.

We had a great time and will definitely go back sometime in the future. We have to, Kaley was missing from our group since she was off at Girl's Camp (yes, it was her first year and she had a great time).
