We have become friends with Conner's teacher from last year, LuAnn Albaugh. And this year she is Kali's teacher. She comes to the kid's games, we've been to her house for dinner and BBQ's after boating and she's been to our house as well.
She has a friend who owns a cabin in Bear Lake. She arranged for us all to go stay there for a few days this summer. She has a boat and we took ours and another family, the Wallins, came with us. Their son, Janson, plays on Conner's soccer team as well and they were in LuAnn's class together.
We had a great time boating. We tubed, wake boarded, water skied, and surfed. I learned how to wake surf but I can't let go of the rope yet. The water was really high so there wasn't much beach area. We found a place one of the days that we let the kids play at for a few hours. Scotty and Sophie had a great time digging and wading in the water. Because the water was so high this year, it wasn't as aqua as other years.
I also had time to read a book, The Help. It was nice to be able to relax and not worry about laundry, cleaning or soccer carpool. One night LuAnn got our a bunch of glow sticks out and the kids had a a great time playing with those. They made jump ropes out of them and that looked really cool while they swung around.
Jan Wallin's dad had passed away earlier in the year and so her mom, Deanna, joined us for our trip. It was nice to have her along.
I don't have any pics from our trip but Jan took a ton so I'll need to get some!
