Bear lake 2012

Bear lake was a blast, as usual. It's always great to have everyone together! This year we had some unique/strange things happen. Sam, the dog, got sprayed by a skunk. I guess it's inevitable that that darn skunk we visit every year finally got one of us. At least it wasn't one of the many small humans that usually provoke it. We were also fortunate to witness the baptisms of 2 children, Landon and McKinley. It was a special experience and one I'm sure they will never forget. Luckily the water wasn't even that cold this year. With so many kids running around I'm surprised our in-house doctor hasn't had to be used before, but this year Taylor cut open his chin and got stitches right on top of a picnic table. Luckily his dad was mostly prepared to fix him up and we had some experienced helpers (myself, Kari and Shane-who held the flashlight with so much style :) ) We had the most beautiful weather and the water was perfect! Max LOVED playing in the dirt 24/7 and he had so much fun. I love this annual tradition!
