The night before we left to Bear Lake, our kids were so excited to sleep in a tent that they requested that we pitch a tent in our backyard. It was fun!!! Bear Lake was the typical... choppy and cold. But hot out side, burnt skin, sandy bottoms, sandy food, but best of all precious time with extended family. This has been a yearly traditon(I have been going for almost 28) with all the Hanson Family. Austin and I have just missed a few years, because of pest control season. Each year the family grows and grows. It gets harder and harder to try and find places to stay, this year we camped. My kids loved it and were happy the whole time! Our camp was right next to the beach and kept the kids entertained for hours burying cousins in the sand! (that picture is of Taryn coverd)
