Bear Lake

Dean and I went to Bear Lake with John's family in July. We had such a great time despite the lack of sleep I'm so glad we went. John couldn't get work off since it was a very last minute trip and I debated going. It's hard for me to go alone with Dean even to small aces that it took all the bravery I could muster to drive alone 2.5 hours and be his sole parent for 2 days. 

We shared a room, which I surprisingly loved. It was so much fun to have him wake me up and crawl into my bed in the morning to snuggle. He did not sleep well our first night, but by the second he was so worn out that he slept great. 

The best part of Bear Lake was the lake. :) Dean loves the water and had the best time playing with his cousins. I loved that the lake is so shallow that you have to walk a long ways before you have any real drowning concerns. Dean loved a spaceship floaty that his Auntie Marja brought so much that he almost looked like he was going to nap on it. 

By day 2 at the lake, he was so exhausted that he was throwing tantrums nonstop so we left. We are so glad we went and grateful that John's wonderful family would let us tag along.
