Animals/Bear Lake!

The other day the boys wanted to take a drive up the road and see the SWEET lookin' camel, donkeys, zonkie, zebra and such again! We drive by them all the time to go out to see Grandma....but usually never stop. So, we packed a lunch (to eat in the car) and drove and parked! It was perfect! The animals were having lunch themselves too! Tate said he did not want to go, he wanted to stay and watch them all day! Who wouldn't?? I tell ya, its pretty strange to see this sorta zoo like thing in the middle of winter! It's fun though!!

Mr. camel!

Mr. Zonkie! (half zebra, half donkey) with his friends the donkey's!

BEAR LAKE WEEKEND!!

Well it was time for our BIG Anniversary weekend! We were to go last weekend the weekend right after our anniversary...but there was some scheduling issues. We really didn't mind though! What's one more week?? Sooo, anyways...we decided to take the kids (since getting a baby sitter is pretty much impossible over night!!) Our friends joined us as well, to make it a double Birthday weekend too. (We have Birthdays just one week apart!) We pretty much just relaxed, ate, played on the Rhino's and Razer's out in the snow. We sledded a little, ate a bit more...watched movies, played games...and just chilled! What a perfect weekend away! (It helps that it is a super sweet place as well!) 

Here is a  picture over load!!

 

 
Getting all ready to go out in the BEAUTIFUL sunny, but snowy BEAR LAKE!!

The lake!

Time to go ridin' the Razor and Rhino's!

Cool kids!

Such cute kids! They all had a total BLAST!

Going through the TUNNEL! A favorite for the kids!

We stopped for a bit to sled down the hills by the SINKS!

Tate loved to ROLL down the hills! Silly kid!

Back to the cabin! Tate rode the horse swing!

Relaxing time for the babies!

The sweet view of the ice covered Lake!

Us families and the BEARS! There are bears all over the cabin! So fun!

Grandma and Grandpa Jaggi came and hung with us one day too! We love them so!

This was a favorite seat for most while here! awwwwwwww

The kids played with 'GOOP' one night! Sure was messy, but fun!

Us gals were spoiled for a Birthday dinner and treat! Chocolate molten cake! mmmm! We have one week apart Birthdays...so over the years we have had fun together celebrating them!

That night our friends had to leave, but we stayed another night and day! Daddy hanging out watching a movie!

The kids fast asleep! They LOVED sleeping here! They didn't want to come home!

Talk about a sweet shower! It has 7 shower heads! Yep, 7!!!! Aaron wrote me a love note on the shower glass wall! ;)

The boys loved a jetted TUB together! So cute!
 
Right before it was time to come home, we took a drive down to the beach! Ohh, I mean the ICE!! We walked on WATER! We all thought that was pretty awesome to come walk on the water that we were swimming in last summer! It was THICK too! No wonder Bear Lake is always so COLD!!!

Walking on water!!
 

What a great time getting away for awhile! That was just what I needed (hence the last post!) Everyone was refreshed and rejuvenated when we got home! Gotta love family outings! Gotta love boss' that are extra nice and share this awesome play things and cabin with his workers. Very kind and generous if you ask me!
