Bear Lake with Amber's Family

Nothing like being in the sun and having fun with the family. For the end of the summer activity with Amber's family we decided to make a trip up to Bear Lake for the day. Amber's family prefers the north sandy beach area of the lake so we headed to Idaho for the day. We arrived there around 10 AM and it was a little brisk, but that did not deter us from setting up our little area for a day of fun. After getting the canopy up and the camp chairs out we were ready for the day's activity of playing in the water and sand. However, before Dave was able to set foot into the water Amber wanted a picture of us both to capture the moment. There was a mount of sand that someone else had gathered up that looked like a nice spot for our "photogenic" spot. So here is the two of us with Amber's black floppy hat, and of course Amber always needs the kissing picture... at least I know she is still in love with me :)

Since it was a family event we needed to get a few snap shots with Mom and Dad, siblings and sibling-in-laws... and of course of our cute little niece who Amber endearingly calls her her "mini me". 

 Of course Dave found some way to be a goof. Here he is surfing the Bear Lake's beached turtle. But after a quick snap shot he was off to the water to play Frisbee with the rest.

 Our niece had a great time with Amber playing in the sand. She was so cute with her little Too-Too swimsuit. She did not like touching the sand but she had fun watching Amber build her sand castles.

 Dave decided to turn the mound of sand into a volcano with a mote dug around it. Too bad we did not have any Mentos and Diet Coke to make an eruption :)

It was a fun day with the family. By the end of the day some of the family looked like red little crabs and others were only slightly pink, but we all had smiles on our faces. We finished it off by going to a Mexican restaurant in Logan and further enjoying each other's company. As always, it is always great to be out with family.
