Bear Lake

The best way to start a new semester of school is to head to Bear Lake the weekend before.  Jordan and I went up Friday afternoon after work to meet up with his parents and his sisters family.  It was so much fun to get away and relax before hitting the books again.  Jordan grew up pretty much on a boat.  His family had one for a few years and that was/is still Jordan passion.  His sister borrowed her in-laws boat so we got to enjoy the water all weekend long.  Here are a couple of pictures of them having fun in the water.  P.s. I couldn't do anything since I had my surgery only a month before so I enjoyed the weekend just sitting on the back of the boat watching them have fun.  Trust me I wanted to try a few things but I decided to be smart!

Jordan getting ready to try wake-boarding.  The water was freezing I don't know how they could just jump right in. 

Ready to go!

Getting up.  YAY!!!

He had fun trying but did a lot better on ski's.  It was so much fun to watch him do the things he loves.  Dax our cute little nephew loved playing in the sand also in the water he is so much fun.

After boating for awhile we went to the beach for a little lunch and a nap.  I had an awesome tan line with my blue brace!

While we were up there we got to stay in a cabin just up the road from the lake.  We had a beautiful view and a awesome deck to sit on and enjoy it.  

Inside the cabin was fun for me.  The bedrooms were upstairs in a loft area.  The only problem was there wasn't any stairs to climb up.  You had to climb a ladder to get up.  Everyone else did really good on it but I had to learn really fast how to climb up and down it with just one arm.  

Sorry picture is sideways but you get the idea of what we had to do.

Later that night Jordan mom Michelle wanted to do some family pictures.  I wished his little sister could of been there to be in them.  They turned out so cute here are just a couple of them.

Don't Say Cherry Hill

This post is so late but I wanted to share it since it was kinda funny.  The last weekend in July I wanted to surprise Jordan with a little over night camping trip.  I invited our friends Russell and Hilarie to come along.  Of course, Jordan found out and spoiled the surprise but he didn't say a word to Russell.  Saturday afternoon Jordan and I headed up to Cherry Hill to get our camp spot all set up before it got to dark.  Once we got up there it was just pouring rain so we waited in the car for it to lighten up.  About 30 minutes later it stopped so we started getting the tent up and once again it started to pour.  It only took up about 2 hours to have everything ready between the storms.  Hilarie and Russell came and met us up at the camp grounds about 9 and we ate dinner and started talking.  Boy time flies when your talking about the good times and sharing stories with each other.  We decided that we needed to head to bed that was around midnight and that's when the fun began!  This was the weekend with the worst thunder and lightening storms.  About 2 in the morning our tent was bright as day light.  I started to panic so I ran to the car to stay safe.  A hour later I headed back to the tent just in time for another storm to roll on in.  We finally decided to take the center wall down and just have it as one big room since we weren't going to get any sleep.  The things people do when they are so stupid tired and scared of the lightening we found that out really fast that night.  After all we ended up getting maybe 4 hours sleep total and we sure have a story to tell our children about that weekend.  

Only a couple days later we thought it would be fun to go back and just do the water park.  Ha ha ha nope the weather turned bad once again so we had a BBQ and the boys made up their own game.  They had some much fun trying to catch anything with the extended arm.  I love this pictures so enjoy. 

We have learned a very important lesson that maybe we weren't meant to go to Cherry Hills at all this summer!!  We will try again next year though don't you worry!!!!
