Bear Lake

I suppose this will have to be Part I of the Bear Lake Report. I started uploading pictures and realized how many there are! The Bear Lake Trip in July is our annual King Family Reunion. One whole week of fun and sun with family!
Jeremy bought a new remote-control boat this year. He and Jacob spent hours driving it around in the water.
Papa rented a boat for us this year. The boys were so excited!

Jacob trying his best to NOT hold on while we cruise over some big waves!

Legend tells of the legendary daredevil boat driver who is the stuff of legend.

Jeremy skiied until he was exhausted. Jacob and Isaac were so impressed with his antics!

We thought it would be a good year to start Spencer and Noah water-skiing. Yeah, they are wimps like their mom. The water is just too cold! And it was really choppy the day we went out. They gave it a great effort, though. We laughed and laughed at Spencer telling his tale of being dragged through the water when he wouldn't let go of the rope. Better luck next year!

Poor Noah. We have nicknamed him "Inspector Clouseau" as it seems like if anything bad can happen, it happens to him. Like Spencer, he couldn't get up on the skis but then one of them came off and hit him in the head. Then the boat drifted over him while he was in the water. The last straw was when Papa pushed him in the water for pushing Jacob. He, of course, hit the propeller. Poor Noah.

Since no one else had the heart to brave the water, Jeremy skiied all the way back to shore.

The next day we opted for some calmer water. We brought a new toy from home: the Hamster Wheel. The boys played with it all morning, sort of a King of the Mountain thing going on.

Isaac only spent a little bit of time in the baby pool. He thinks he's a big boy now and swims like crazy. We have to watch him very carefully!
I love this shot of Jacob flinging himself onto the Hamster Wheel. He would usually just bounce right off but kept at it!

We call Spencer the Vampire because he says he hates sunlight and the outdoors. This is him with a tan, which proves otherwise.

Jeremy's turn to make sure fearless Isaac doesn't drown on his watch.

Thumbs Up! All the cousins ADORE their Uncle Jon. They have so MUCH fun with him!

Our last day at Bear Lake. A Pinata made by Uncle Jon with enough candy inside to last the entire two-day trip home. Isaac's turn.

Jacob taking a swing.

Heavy Hitter Noah preparing for his chance at glory!

Spencer makes contact! Now the frenzy can begin!

Good Bye Bear Lake! You are so beautiful and we'll see you next year!
