We vacationed with the In-Laws for a week at Bear Lake. Spouse flew in on Wednesday night to catch some of the action. Hooray! Spouse has 5 siblings, all with med-large families, and with only 3 condo units at the lake, a couple of us were lucky to stay in their 'cabin' in Logan Canyon, a 15 minute drive from the lake. But we didn't miss any of the fun.
All my kids loved the freezing water and playing in the sand. #1 palled around with her cousins and spent her shell-collecting prize money at the little store, buying lip gloss and suckers. Her older cousins painted her nails and doted on her like a pet. She ate it up.
The freedom of the beach was enough to satisfy #2. What more could a 3 year old boy wish for? Sand, water, a boat and no shirt. Oh yes, and unlimited soda and treats. Many of you are familiar with #2's adventures in potty-training and the beach proved to add one more learning experience. Spouse was approached by an irate woman who claimed #2 "took a leak" right in front of their beach space. Spouse replied, "Did you leave him a tip?" The woman was confused. "For the show." She was not amused. I'm sure she thought me a most neglectful mother.

The 'cabin' was surrounded by these beautiful wild flowers. My mother in-law couldn't resist posing the kids for a picture. Isn't it beautiful?Coming up: Week Three - Backpacking the White Clouds

I think your kids are really lucky to have a dad who responds to the pee incident that way! Also, I love the pick of #3 basking in the sun - it looks like she is doing some PR for Valvoline.
Good for spouse! Looks like fun. I miss Bear Lake. I haven't been there for years.
