Price Family at Bear Lake














I took myself and the 4 little girls to Bear Lake for a week of fun with my family. My parents arranged for us all to stay in two really nice town homes in Harbor Village which is right across from the Marina. It was a beautiful place to stay. We went to the beach every day and had fun just being together and riding on wave runners. Sandy and Steve Morgan were very generous in bringing their boat up for us to enjoy. The water was pretty choppy because of the wind so we had to transport people on and off the boat with the use of the wave runners. Once Savannah and Chelsea got on the boat and had so much fun they both said "we are never ever getting off of this boat". It was fun to see Danny try and get up on an airchair. It was also fun that Gordon Furness and his wife and family were staying at the Furness cabin and were at the beach every day as well. My kids LOVED going to the swimming pool at the condos. We usually ended up there in the afternoon/evening after being at the beach. It was difficult trying to get Savannah and Chelsea out of the water. In fact, one day Chelsea was in the pool non-stop from about noon until I had to drag her out at 9:00 at night when they closed.
Cory got a new job at Liberty Tire Recycling and has only been there about 2 weeks. It was impossible for him to get any time off to come to Bear Lake with me and my family. Mitchal also had cheer camp the exact same time we were in Bear Lake. Cam also had to work. My mom suggested we stay through the weekend at the beach where my mom's side of the family has some cabins. I was excited to hear this since I was sad that Cory, Cam, and Mitchal were going to have to miss out on the fun. They all arrived on Friday and we had a great time at the beach every day. We rented a boat and two wave runners and I was actually able to get up water skiing after not having done it for about 10 years. Savannah tryed water skiing and got up for about a second and then she was done. Cam made a good effort at trying to get up on one ski and was soooo close. Mitchal and cousin Katie had a lot of fun on the tube we pulled behind the boat. Chelsea tryed the tube but it was too scary for her. Everyone loved riding the wave runners. Meg loved playing in the sand and running in and out of the water. She also enjoyed going on the paddle boat with anyone who would take her. Jack, our dog, LOVED the beach and the lake and the kids loved playing with him too. Cory's sister Terri and 3 of her kids also joined us and that was a lot of fun to be with them. On the drive home Sun night it was starting to rain. We could see lightning in the sky over the lake and it lit up the lake. We stopped for the infamous Bear Lake shakes on the way out of town. As we were driving through Logan canyon we saw many deer on the side of the road and even a couple Moose. Meg said "mommy I saw a baby deer and it was lost and looking for it's mommy." I have decided Bear Lake is one of my favorite places.
