Bear Lake | Saturday

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we spent last weekend in Bear Lake and loved every minute of it! If you missed our adventures from Friday you can catch up here. :)

A few things we did on Saturday ...

When we woke up that morning it was a bit chillier outside than the day before so we bundled up, put Liam in his stroller with a banana, and took a hike up the road above the cabin. It felt like we got the best of both worlds ... views of gigantic beautiful cabins on the way up the hike and the most incredible view of the lake on our way back down! It was the perfect way to start the day.

By the time we got back, Nic's dad had once again made us a gourmet breakfast ... blueberry pancakes, eggs, and sausage. We could not thank him enough for all the cooking and spoiling he did for us last weekend!! Breakfast was amazing and once again we were having to hold Liam back from wanting to sprint down to his favorites spot by the water to see the jet skis going by! Little did he know, he was in for a BIG surprise later in the day. ;)

More pelicans flying across the water in the morning ...

The piece of property that is next to our family cabin had this really cool old truck parked down by the water so Liam and I went to investigate the "beep beep" ...

We kept our sweatshirts on for a while but as the day progressed, the clouds parted and it slowly began to warm up. 

Throwing rocks!

Building more sand castles! Life at Bear Lake is really tough. ;)

Right about lunch time, Nic and his dad snuck away to rent a jet ski together while I fed Liam. I knew if I didn't do it while they were gone, he was never going to want to eat after they got back and he saw the surprise they had in store for him. Liam's very first time on a jet ski!!!

CUTEST picture Liam's Papa took of him ...

As you can imagine, our motor vehicle loving boy was obsessed!! He loved every minute of getting to drive daddy around the lake. ;)

Love these cute boys of mine so much!!!

Liam barely got off long enough to warm up and give Papa his only ride of the day (sorry Grandpapa!). Nic and I rode together once too and definitely went slow. I honestly think baby girl bounces around in my stomach WAY more when I run then when I was on the water. A BIG thank you to Nic's dad for renting the jet ski for the day and giving Liam an experience he'll never forget! He's even been talking about it and describing it to me ever since. haha We were at T.J.Maxx this week getting a friend a birthday gift and he saw a motor vehicle book on the shelf and squealed when he opened it and found a picture of a JET SKI inside. You bet that book came home with us. haha

After returning the jet ski, we tried laying Liam down for a nap. While we were eating lunch we watched him fight his nap for a good hour before finally giving up and resorting to Plan B. Our intentions were to stay until dinner time, keeping Nic's dad company while Liam napped, and then to head back home to take care of Rue but we decided to pack up an hour or so early in hopes that Liam would fall asleep in the car. Minutes into the drive he drifted off and slept the whole way home.

I don't know that we will be able to make it back to Bear Lake this summer as we get closer to baby girl's arrival and I can't travel anymore but if not, we sure had the time of our lives this trip and will look so forward to going back next summer with TWO kids in tow, holy cow!! I'll have to start packing days in advance if we ever want to make it out the door that trip. haha Until next time, beautiful Bear Lake!
