At the beach, you'll find them there, in the sun and salty air.

We went to Bear Lake for 4th of July Weekend. I grew up going there every summer, so it holds a special place in my heart! We had lots of fun playing at the beach and playing games in the cabin. We didn't want the trip to end so we brought a little of the beach home with us in the form of sand all in the car and some of us even brought some home in our tummies... namely Jeremy. He took one look at the sand and said, "Wow! look at all this yummy food I can eat!" (shown below)

Aunt Kathryn and Chad helped Allison & Andrew make fun decorative sand castles with motes.

Sam had fun digging enormous holes and then putting his legs in them to make him magically appear as a little person.

While all the fun was going on, Jeremy decided he was tired and full of eating sand and feel asleep on me. So I got to just sit and watch everyone have fun!

My Grandma even let the kids take these precious 20 year old chairs down to the beach. I used them when I was a kid and there were like 15 of them... now there is sadly only like 2.



When my mom came down to the beach with lunch, she watched Jeremy while the rest of us played some Frisbee (We tried to teach Kathryn how to throw a Frisbee straight but unfortunately, we all failed.) and my dad even got in a little catnap (and it was his birthday too!) Happy Birthday, Dad!
