The Last day at Bear Lake

This look says it all.

Bear Lake wouldn't be complete without riding the bike path on the banana bikes

A bushel and a half of Maryland Crabs!

Beach Time at Bear Lake

Whenever the water started to escape, Joey could be overheard saying, "damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Uncle Miles took all of the kids out for rides on his superpowerful powerboat. Uncle Andy also took the kids out on the Waverunner as well.

Trying to look cool, with little success.

Family Pictures in Bear Lake

On Thursday we had a photographer come to the house and take LOTS of family pictures. We did a huge one of the entire family and then several smaller ones for the individual families at the house and then at the beach. It could be best described as controlled chaos.

This was a picture of all of the 2 year olds, or at least the kids who were born with in 12 months of one another.

This activity turned to be even more hilarious than previously thought even though only a couple of people participated in it. Be sure to watch the video at the end, it's sure to make the rounds on YouTube.

Bear Lake Part 1

This past week the entire family went to Bear Lake for a family reunion. We stayed in a home that had 10 Bedrooms and 12 Bathrooms and was just over 8,000 square feet. The house was located across the road from the lake. We took so many pictures that I decided to split the pictures up in sections because there is way too much to digest. Other than that there isn't any rhyme or reason to the pictures posted. The entire home was well designed and had plenty of spece for the 40 of us who stayed there.

From the many cars parked in front, you can get a pretty good idea the size of the home.

I don't usually take pictures of this sort of thing, but having a bidet in the master bathroom tells you that this home had some high class features to it.

Kapena brought along this book for some "fun" reading. Kalea saw it and thought it looked interesting as well. She spent the better part of an evening engrossed in it and reported that it was a "page turner".

Not a very good picture of Noelani, but it works.

The home had a game room which seemed to be in constant use 24 hours a day. This picture shows how 3 boys could use 2 controllers to one X Box.

I could never seem to get Brennan to look at me whithout running away. Here is a rare quiet moment for the little guy.

Kalihi and Gable playing on the Air Hocket table. All it took was a small step stool for him to reach it and he was good to go.

Some of the kids were watching something with grandma.

Fourth of July

I bought some fireworks for the kids this year. Because we planned on going and watching the city fireworks on Saturday, we set most of these off the night before. The kids called some friends and I made popcorn while Allan lit most of them. About 8pm on Saturday the clouds got dark and it started to rain. It got gradually harder and then around 10:30 the lights went out and the fireworks were cancelled. It's a rare occurance when fireworks in Utah are cancelled due to rain. We'll have to save the rest for tomorrow night after FHE.

Kalea took the video, so beware!
