Bear Lake has turned into a family reunion with my Dad. We try to do every thing we can to get all six of my brothers and sisters there. I don't think my Dad knew it was going to turn into such a coveted vacation for all of us when he started the tradition about seven years ago. It's not every year that all of us get to go, but this year we were all there and we all had a great time. We played so hard that by the time we broke camp for home we all looked like zombies.
Every night around the same time storms would blow in. However, the first night we were there none of us were expecting it. Camp was all set up and ready for us to just kick back and enjoy the rest of our stay. The huricane type winds came out of no where and blind sided us. Every one scrambled to break down the tents so the poles wouldn't snap, we've had that happen one year, and put away anything that would blow away. It was a good thing I brought an RV and Lowell brought a tent trailer because then the rain mixed with the high winds and every ones stuff in their tents got soaked.
Lowell slept nine people in his and I crambed eleven in mine. It was a rough nights sleep with everyone packed in like sardines but we survived. Even Itch survived and he opted for his tent, we thought he was crazy but I think he slept better than anyone there.
The rough night didn't keep us from having a great time the next day. The guys turned into posers as soon as the camera came out. I think they are more dramatic than girls.
Brook looks like a girl prancing through the water.
You don't get much more posed than this, look at those faces.
You can tell this is posed, Brook's looking at Lowell like he's a dink.
Itch is exstatic he caught the ball.
I just want you to know that this shot was Lowell's idea. He got a little nervous when Brook told, "Here I come." Lowell started yelling, "What is he doing? What is he doing?"
What are the odds of this really happening?
Brook was getting a little grab nasty with Big D. I had to make them repose for this shot because I didn't get it the first time before they dropped Big D.
I honestly can't tell you who the biggest poser is. I don't think we have to worry about anyone here being camera shy.
After a little water catch the boys got a little rough with each other on the beach.
Look in the background, they are even posers.
They are setting such a bad example for the little ones. It's going to come back to them if they aren't careful.
Itch thought he'd sneak into this one and get them both.
After we came back from the beach and had dinner we decided to play some football.
Dad even took his shoes off for the game, this is rare footage!
We ended the day with a little Lovens and a nice family picture.
What a goofy looking family!
