Summer in Bear Lake

 Bryce got a summer job in Bear Lake 

working at a restaurant really close to our 

cabin.  So he and I have been living there

all summer.  Greg comes up every weekend

and if he has one or two days off during the week

we go home.  Its been a different summer for sure.

Relaxing and enjoyable.  Taking Charlie for a little 

hike one day.  

 I love sitting on our deck watching the 

hummingbirds.  We have about 6 of them

that I have counted.  They're pretty amazing.

 I also LOVE LOVE LOVE our view! 

Its gorgeous.  This is early one morning.  

 The Sawyers come up quite often also.

This is during the 4th of July weekend.

Jaxson really wanted to play with Charlie.

Charlie really didn't want to play with Jaxson. 

 What's the 4th of July without a little

watermelon?  Even Jaxson loved it!

 Yep, this is a street in Bear Lake

named after Christa.  :)

 By mid July I was kind of going a little stir crazy.  So I decided

to find a project to keep me busy.  This is a dresser that is in our

bedroom at the cabin.  I wanted to paint it and turn it into a TV

stand.  This is the color before.

 Almost finished

 I painted the hardware with a metal spray paint.  I love it!

I'm leaving the top drawers out and Greg is going to cut wood

to make shelves so I can put the cable box and DVD player on them.

 Right after a nice rain storm.  Its so

beautiful!

 We tended my friend Sara's little girl

Brooke one weekend.  Having fun in the pool.

 Painting rocks

 Charlie swimming in the lake.

 Brooke doing somersalts in the lake.

 Treasure hunt in a big block of ice.  

I think this was her favorite activity we did.

I hid dollar store items in a pan and froze it.  Then

dumped the ice out and gave her a hammer and

screw driver.  She loved it.  Then we had to take

the items and freeze them again.  

 Playing candyland with Bryce.

 Playing at the park

 The finished dresser.  I love how it turned out!!

 My friend Kristi came up one day and

we made raspberry jam from the famous

raspberries from Bear Lake.  They are 

known for their raspberry shakes!  YUM!

 Another big project this summer...

Greg and Robert are replacing all the 

windows in the cabin.  This is the kitchen

before the wood border is put back on.

 The laundry room after the border

was put back on.

 Greg working hard on the windows.

This is a big project but we are excited 

with how nice they are looking!

Bliss is a he-woman and thinks she can

chop wood!  She's pretty amazing!  

Its been a really fun summer!
