Happy 4th!!

The 4th of July is such an amazing time of year. It is a time when we have the opportunity to think of and remember the people who serve and have served for our country and our freedom. Both Jeff and my family celebrate the 4th of July in Bear Lake every year. In fact, this is where Jeff and I met. It is such a memorable place for us because it was where our first "hangout" happened and where all the romance started :) 

This year we went on a hike to Bloomington Lake. It is always so much fun because at this time the glacier hasn't completely melted and all the boys sled down the glacier and into the lake. Usually the girls will participate, but not this year! The water was WAY too cold. So, we watched and laughed and had a great time on our hike! 

Poor Jeff cut his foot on the Sky Ski the day before he came to Bear Lake so he wasn't able to go sledding down the ice and snow. But he did go off the rope swing and plunged into the icy water! Crazy boys!

Jeff and I hanging out in Bloomington.

Jeff and Jake were waiting in line to go on the rope swing. Are they crazy?? The water was FREEZING! And there was a line? They couldn't talk me into it that is for sure! Everyone knows how much I love being cold. haha!

Watching the rope swingers!

The man on the left who is about to go on the rope swing is Jeff's uncle Brian. He is 53 years old and he did a gainer off the rope swing! Pretty amazing right? He works out. Oh, and he is single, so if you know any ladies who are interested!! 

We always have so much fun at Bear Lake and we especially did this year too. It was pretty cool because this year Ideal Beach had a bunch of different contests that the residents could participate in including sand castle creations, side walk chalk art, volleyball tournaments and others! Jeff and I recruited 3 teams (6 players on a team) from both our families and we all played in the Volleyball Tournament! It was so much fun. Our team took the title home with us, of course :) haha, no it was really fun though and everyone was cheering both teams on and we had such a blast playing with our family. You can never go wrong with Bear Lake... you have the sun, the sailboats, the tubes, the grass, the hot tubs, the tennis courts, anything you can think of! But, the best part is having your family there. It was a great 4th!
