We haven't ever had the opportunity to vacation with Jeremy's family so we decided that this was the year to do it. Jeremy and I planned a long weekend vacation to Bear Lake to spend time with his family. We rented a cabin that fit and everyone and had a great time. The kids especially loved being with their cousins.
We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and met up with Jason, Melodie and their family. We ate some lunch together at a place called Zipz that was delicious. We of course had tasty Bear Lake shakes.

After lunch, we met up with Brady, Kellie and their boys and hiked through Minnetonka Cave.
The boys had fun with their cousins (despite Jaxon's face) exploring the inside of the cave. There were lots of stalactites and stalagmites and other formations. The cave was quite chilly though!
At the very end of the cave they turned out the lights. Brady's little boy Taylor didn't like that much and asked if we could go home. Once the lights were back on we got a group picture.

Once we got to the cabin and got settled in, the kids all decided to have a hot tub party. There were a lot of kids in one hot tub and it overflowed!
The kids didn't last too long in the hot tub seeing how it was so hot outside already. But they had fun and made memories.
Jason and Melodie were able to borrow a boat from one of Melodie's family members. We spent two days boating and hanging out on the beach. We also rented Sea-dos and we all loved riding on those as well.
Since the water was quite shallow, they had to park the boat a ways out and wade through the water to get to the beach. That Bear Lake water is chilly! On our first day boating, first run out, Melodie broke her arm while riding on the tube. It was a crazy accident and sadly Jason and Melodie spent the whole first beach day in Logan in the ER. She was a trooper and tried her very best to enjoy the rest of the vacation.
On Saturday night we went into town to the Pickleville Playhouse and saw Jaunito Bandito whom is pictured with Kayden above. We all loved the show and laughed and laughed.
We had to make one last stop at Zipz for another Bear Lake Shake (and some of the best fries ever). The boys and their cousins had a good time eating their shakes in the comfort of a ski boat table.
On Sunday morning we cleaned and packed up to head home. It was a memorable vacation. We took some pictures before we headed out. Above Jeremy is pictured with his siblings and parents.
This is the whole crew--minus two that had to head back home a little early. It was so fun to be with everyone and to make memories.
Even if we are all a little crazy!
