Raspberry Days 2010

I guess you could call it a tradition now. Every first weekend in August we go to Bear Lake for Raspberry Days. This year was no different, however Karlee and I decided to head up a little earlier. We left Rob at work and headed up on Tuesday with Grandma Weston, Holly (robs sister) and her two cute boys. On our way up we hit a really fun little zoo in Logan.

Willow Park Zoo is a small park zoo, but I would say it is definitely worth the stop, if you are ever in Logan. The admission is very minimal, adults $1.00 and children (under 12) $0.50. This small zoo has the beautiful grounds, big shady green trees, and I will add that the grounds a very clean. I read that the zoo is home to a variety of animals, from lemurs to elk to bobcats, including one of the best collections of birds in the region, with more than 100 species (including wild avians who nest here).

Karlee and cousin Bo were fascinated by the Ducks & Swans.

American Bald Eagle - These birds are so majestic to me!

We headed up to Bear Lake and enjoyed the quiet and solitude of the area. Sadly I took only two pictures that even turned out of the week and weekend. (don't ya just hate that!) So here were the highlights of the week/weekend. Karlee got to play with her two cousins Cody and Bo Daniel. They had a blast together. She loves to spend time with them.

Once Grandpa Weston got there it was time for Lawnmower rides. Grandpa Weston hooked up the little red wagon to the riding lawnmower and took the kids on rides around the house. These kids had hit the jackpot and were in Heaven!

Our normal Raspberry days activities were somewhat minimal - not sure why exactly, but none the less we all had a wonderful relaxing time. Rob went golfing with his dad twice up to Montpelier, ID (just 20 minutes away). All the girls hit the Miss Berry Pageant, the craft boutiques, and enjoyed a very delicious Raspberry shake at Lakeside Pizza in Garden City, UT.

We are looking forward to next year and all the memories that we will make.
