Fishing, Bear Lake, and Rexburg

We went hiking at Sportsman Park in July

The boys wanted to try fishing.  (We didn't think we'd catch anything)  We learned that a few of them had no patience for fishing.

The end of July we went to BEAR Lake.  We love Bear Lake!!!

We stopped in Montpelier to see the pioneer museum.  We found an item that belonged to one of Shilo's ancestor who was a body guard to the Prophet Joseph Smith.

 We had a hard time finding a campsite our first night. It was very stressful because the kids were tired and hungry and everything was taken. Some nice people let us use theirs for just the night.

We went on a hike near our campsite.

We didn't go to far on the hike because the mosquitos were eating us alive, and one of the bridges further up was under water.

 The next day we found a new campsite along the other side of the beach at the Idaho State Park.

We found a little spot for us.  We didn't go to North beach because the water is so high and there were so many people.

We had so much fun on t his alligator from Kim.  The beach was so rocky and the reeds were everywhere.  But we still had lots of fun!

Gavin didn't like the water, but he loved the beach.  We had sand in everything because of him!

This is our second camp spot.  We had fun, but it was really hot, because there are no trees!

 Where does Gavin sleep?  ANY WHERE HE WANTS TOO!

I had to add these.  He fell asleep one day at the table after lunch while I was doing dishes.

The next day I found him here by the door.  I know this is a long blog, just hang in there!

Yesterday we went to the movies with the boys and then we went to visit Rexburg.  We haven't been back for a long time.  We first went to the Temple.  We weren't there for more than 5 minutes and all of them had to go to them bathroom.  So we had to drive to the nearest building to find one!

I just love the Garden's.  They have always been my favorite spot.

We walked around campus and couldn't believe the changes.  It brought back so many memories!  We really enjoyed it.  This is the new auditorium connected to the Hart Building.

This is the new auditorium.  My kids asked if it was the Conference center.  It is almost just as big!

This is the new addition to the Manwarring Center.  It is just huge!  It also connects to the Library.

We had so much fun walking down memory lane.  We even showed the boys where we use to live, and where Blake was born.  We had a fun time.  School starts next week so we are getting the last of our Summer Time Fun!
