She pretty much clung to me like this most of the time when she wasn't in the floaty. Michelle had the good idea of taking everything off in the water to get all of the sand off. It worked well but she thought it was very scary.
I absolutely loved playing in Bear Lake. It is so beautiful and not terribly cold. The kids had a blast to. When we took Leah out she was pretty freaked out at first. I put her in the floaty thing and she cried so I took her out. Then she cried louder and leaned back towards the floaty so I put her back in and she was happier. She really didn't like the waves though so I had to try to keep them from splashing her. Daniel loved playing mostly in the shallow warm pools and digging in the sand. The second day we actually remembered to bring his life jacket but he still wouldn't let go. He is really good at clinging on tight. In the picture with Jon holding him the only reason why he was smiling was because we told him he needed to be brave for Leah so she wouldn't be scared. If we lived closer I would go there all of the time. It really was fun and good for the kids to have some water experience. We also enjoyed having relatives and friends there to play with.

Yay for family camp!!! It was so good to see you (at least a little). Hopefully next time we'll get to talk a little more.
Your kids are adorable!!
You really got some great pictures Val!!My favorite, is naked Leah!! So So Sweet!! I really liked the Daniel running one and the one of him smiling, even if it was just for Leah, it was a great smile anyway!!
How fun. I love Bear Lake. My entire extended family is from there. You should hear what they call visitors from Utah (maybe not). It's almost a magical place for me, so I'm glad you had so much fun!
Your kids are so cute. I think Daniel looks so much like you! So cute. We did the ladybug cake thing too! Must be all the rage this year.
Fun fun! And cute little butt cheeks! (On Leah!!!!) :)
