Our Long Weekend, Long Post

Sit back and relax this is a really long post...
We took a long weekend last week, and had a great time. We headed up north to visit family. We were really looking forward to this weekend. We were going to head up to Bear Lake for Raspberry days. On Thursday we went and did a few errands that needed to get done, including getting Karlee a Temple dress for her sealing *hooray!!!*. We went with Laurel (Rob's mom) to her classroom. She is in a new school, so she gets to have all new supplies, and equipment. We used Rob's muscles to move the heavy equipment. They even have a big carpet of the United States. So we thought this would be a cute photo opt.

On Friday, David (Rob's brother) had knee surgery and so we hung around town. We went over to visit with my sister Monica and her family. Rob and Matt went golfing, and I am sure they had a ball. Paige was out riding her bike and came back with her hands full. She had been picking up Rollie Pollies (aka Potato Bugs) and thought they were the greatest. This sure brought back memories.

Friday night we headed out for Bear Lake. We made a dinner stop at Maddux's up near Logan. Robs family loves this place, and whenever they can they make a meal stop. It was very good. Rob had their buffalo burger, while I had their chicken fingers. We both had their homemade Rootbeer which was delicious.

Karlee just woke up from the car ride. It takes a few minutes...

Bear Lake 2008

Oh how beautiful the lake looks

While up at Bear Lake we went to the famous Raspberry Days, which was a fun day. We had a good time. We walked around the vendors and looked at all the fun stuff that they have there being sold. I got lots of ideas of things that I want to make and decorate with. I know I know I probably should have purchased them, instead of stealing the idea. But oh well, Rob was happy - more $$ in his checkbook for now. Grandma Laurel bought Karlee a cute crochet headband with a pretty pink flower to go on top.

Such a Cutie!!!

We went and visited Rob's grandma Weston. She is 85 years old and looks great. Rob was really excited to show his little Karlee off.

Great Grandma Weston and Karlee.

This weekend was a lot of fun. We can't wait until next year. It was so fun to get up to Bear Lake, spend time relaxing and enjoy time with family. Here are some pic's of Karlee's cousins. Bo Daniel and Cody (Holly's kids)

Again thanks for letting us come up to Bear Lake. It was so much fun. Can't wait until next time

oh wow. Bear Lake is really pretty. I always hear so much about it, but I've never seen photos. Now I know what the fuss is all about.
