Bear Lake 2010

We had been planning this trip with our friends for about a month, and it couldn't have come a day too soon! We left late Friday night with Mitch and Amanda and the four-wheelers in tow and arrived at the cabin early that morning.

On the way up to the lake we stopped at Smith's in Logan to get some last minute grocery supplies. Mitch mistook the cashier for a man. Hilarious. We spent the entire ride talking about random stuff, and trading scary stories. We met up with Mitch's friends Bryan, Mike, and Dustin at the cabin.We played Phase 10 for a little while before we crashed and went to bed.

The next morning the boys went for an early morning ride. Amanda and I stayed behind because it was just too cold. It had been snowing on and off all morning. We waited and met Jared a little later in the afternoon. After he arrived, the weather had cleared up so we all went for a ride. We scaled mountains and went off every road there was. We explored a few abandoned houses/barns and scared a few cows. Rode over 40 miles that day! Such a blast.

Jordan and Alyssa came up on Saturday night after she got off work.

Sunday we went on multiple rides because the weather was so nice. We had 8 machines in a row driving up and down all over the trails. 6 fourwheelers and Riley and Jordan's pit bikes. Everyone thought those were pretty great and they all wanted their turn on them. That evening before settling down for the night Riley and I, Mitch and Amanda, Jordan and Alyssa, and Jared took the fourwheelers down to the beach and drove around on the dry sand. We spent a good amount of time freeing the big puddles that had accumulated back into the lake. It was like elementary school all over again, building and unbuilding dams in the gutter kind of.

We had steaks for dinner that night, and spent a good few hours playing "Things". That was one of my personal favorite parts of the trip, that game is hilarious.
The next morning we packed things up and headed to LaBeaux's for lunch! Famous raspberry shakes and everything, YUM! Then on the way home Riley and I, and Amanda and Mitch stopped at a little rinky dink gas station to play the lottery. We spent five dollars just to see how far we could get with it. Fun tradition!

We had such a great time and it was a much needed vacation from work. The weather was just lovely minus the first few hours on Saturday, but we wouldn't have traded any part of it. We're looking forward to going again soon!

Now..for the fun part. I have been a complete slacker at taking pictures lately, so I kind've overcompensated for this trip. But here ya go! Enjoy!!
