Bear Lake
Aug 19 - It seems like we get to the end of summer every year and realize there are a lot of things we didn't do that we wanted to do. One of those things was Bear Lake, so we squeezed in a quick trip before it was too late. We left on a Friday afternoon after Darren got home from work. We spent a couple hours playing on the beach. It was a super windy day. When we first got there, we tried to fly a kite, but the wind was so strong, it blew it away! The kids loved the beach! Logan spent most of his time in the water and Rylee loved digging and playing in the dirt and collecting LOTS of shells. Avery was completely fascinated by the sand and had it all over her and even tried to eat it! She was crawling everywhere and was a mess but loved it! We had so much fun, until the wind got so bad and the sand was blowing everywhere and it was stinging against our legs and really hurt! It was like an episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 that I had seen with them on the beach. It was awful! Luckily, Daddy pulled up right by us and we got into the car pretty quickly. After the sand storm we had enough and decided to head for some dinner... There are a ton of pictures. I think Bear Lake is one of the prettiest places ever! I love the color of the water!
Beach babies
Trying for a group hug, but it didn't go so smoothly...
Logan running in the waves - He played out there for a long time. He loves the water!
I love her cute little hands full of sand and that belly!!!
This is my favorite picture from the day!
Crawling in the sand - She had sand everywhere!!!
Ry was all over the beach running and playing in the sand and finding lots of shells. She seems to find mud wherever we go!
Posing for the camera...
Rylee picking up some rocks for her sand buildings. She was a busy builder all day long!
Building with Daddy
This little girl was ALL over the place on the beach!
Sweet sandy smile!

I had this great idea for a picture of them holding hands...
It didn't quite work out! I love these babies of mine though!
My favorite boys
Rylee doing some more digging
Me and my baby - Proof I was there, too!!!
I love these guys working together - I wish it was always like this!
Avery in her cute shades trying to hide from the crazy sand storm!
Logan had to have a picture by his castle before we left
Rylee was not happy with all the crazy wind and sand! Poor baby! She wouldn't get off her chair because she was afraid the sand would sting her legs again and she was NOT going to take off her sunglasses!
Next, we went to Bear Lake pizza for some yummy dinner! The kids had fun playing on these little ride-ons while we waited for our food. When I took this picture, Rylee told me to have the horse smile. Silly girl!
After pizza, we had to stop for some famous Bear Lake raspberry shakes and ice cream at La Beau's!
This girl was LOVING her little tastes of ice cream!
On the way home, we noticed some cars pulled over on the side of the road. So, we pulled over and saw this BIG bull moose! It was so neat! We watched him for quite awhile and got pretty close. It was a great end to our fun day! Oh, how I love the days of summer!!! Can't wait to get back to the beach! I am hoping we get to squeeze in more than one trip to Bear Lake this next summer. We love it there.

Vacation Day 7: Back to the Beach
I really want to get this vacation done and posted so I can post something more recent! Here is the next day of our California trip from July.
The original plan for Wednesday (July 21) was to either go back to Disneyland or to go to Sea World, but Darren wasn't feeling very well still and didn't think he could do that, so we had to do a little changing of the plans. We had a beach day scheduled for Thursday with the whole family, but we decided we were going to have to switch some things around and decided to have more of a down day and do the beach and hopefully Darren would feel better the next day. Luckily, some of our family (Brian and Val and their family and Kevin, April and Haley) also had flexible plans and could change things and come with us so the kids could have some cousins to play with. Not everyone could change their plans, so we missed out on a whole family day at the beach, but a more laid back day was what Darren needed to recover and me and the kids were pretty tired from Disneyland, so it was good for all of us!
Since we were kind of changing things around and deciding what we were doing, we kind of slept in and had a yummy breakfast at the hotel and just had a relaxed morning. Once we finally got everything figured out and everyone dressed and packed up, it was lunch time so we made a stop at In-N-Out Burger, which a Webber family vacation staple!
So, we went to In-N-Out Burger, but my kids begged to eat their Lunchables we had packed for the beach instead. Whatever...

Logan entertained us while we ate with this lovely pole dancing on the table. Not sure where he learned that...
Our family on the beach! Oh, how I wish I could be on the beach RIGHT now! My little Rylee is a beach baby and she has been asking to go to the beach for the past few weeks... I miss summer! We had a great day on the beach! It was very relaxed and we were only there for a few hours, which to me is perfect! We didn't have to haul as much stuff and it was much warmer than our day there on Monday. We had a great time! Most of this is just pictures... I don't have a lot to say about our day. The kids loved playing in the sand and with their cousins and Ry spent the entire day digging and digging and Logan spent most of his day back in the waves.
My cute kiddos!
Sweet girls in their matching beach attire
Rylee tackling Avery trying to give her a hug
I love this beach baby! Miss Avery is looking oh, so cute!
Avery looking cool in her shades! I think sunglasses on a baby is just so funny for some reason.
Avery playing in the mud - She made a HUGE mess, but had so much fun doing it!
Crawling on the beach
I wasn't sure what she would think about the water, but she did pretty good with it.
Rylee was so happy to have a little buddy to dig in the sand with. Her and her cousin, Lauren, spent most of the day digging and building sand castles and stuff together. They are about 5 ears apart, but they still had a lot of fun together!
My beach girl, Rylee - I love her!!!
Logan spent most of his day playing in the waves again, but he did come out and build some castles with his cousins for a little bit, too. He loves the water!
Daddy and Rylee working on a sand creation with their cousins Spencer and Lauren
I love her sand covered face!
My handsome surfer boy - He didn't stand still long enough for many pictures, but I love this one of him!
Logan and Rylee decided they wanted to be buried in the sand. They weren't too sure about it once Daddy started to bury them.
Daddy covered their faces so they wouldn't get sand in their eyes...
Those are 2 cute heads in the sand! They lasted this way about 10 seconds...
Lauren and Rylee hard at work
Daddy chatting with Uncle Brian - He loves the time to spend with his brothers on the trip
Look at all the sand!
Spencer buried Lauren in the sand - I think the way her head is popping up out of the sand is so funny!
She is so happy on the beach! I love it!!!
Logan with sand all over his neck and ears!
I love this boy!
Ready to run back into the waves
Logan is playing with his cousin, Haley
He had so much fun running in and out of the waves
Playing with Daddy - They are the best of buddies!
I told Darren this is his Baywatch picture.... He might be mad I put it on the blog... He is looking pretty hot though....
Logan all wet from playing in the waves
Ry being silly with her umbrella
Once he was out of the water, Logan was tired and cold and curled up in his towel! Such a sweet boy!

The funny part was that she kept coloring even after she was asleep and it ended up all over her hands.
The original plan for Wednesday (July 21) was to either go back to Disneyland or to go to Sea World, but Darren wasn't feeling very well still and didn't think he could do that, so we had to do a little changing of the plans.

On the way home, Rylee was coloring on the dry erase on the way home and totally zonked out. She was exhausted!!!
