Camping at Tony Grove, Bear Lake and Tony Hardman's

We took the trailer up to Tony Grove Campground for a few days for some rest and relaxation from our everyday schedules. It was so beautiful up there and we had such a good time. Megan and Steven came up with Zoe and Lincoln for one night of camping and a fun day at Bear Lake.


Hiking to the Lake

We roasted hotdogs and made smores. Steven called them fake smores because we cheated and used fudge stripe cookies instead of grahm crackers and a chocolate bar. But they were still very tasty!
Zoe brushing her teeth with grandma getting ready for bed.
Megan, Zoe and Lincoln slept in the big bed and Steven slept right below them on the single bed
We tried to get a good family picture but Zoe was not impressed that dad took her away from playing. More pictures at the lake. It was so beautiful and peaceful there


The next day we headed down the mountain to spend a day at Bear Lake and also to enjoy one of Bear Lake's famous rasberry shakes and homemade fries.

The water was so warm and was not very deep, so we were able to go out pretty far with the kids.


Megan playing with the kids. What a hottie!


Lincoln even got in on the fun


Phil relaxing

Steven is such a good daddy! Zoe loved playing with him.





Lincoln was being such a good little boy and was so happy! Here are a few pictures of him being happy. I love his smile and cute little giggle!



Steven, Megan and Zoe built a sand Castle. Steven was the brains behind it but he wanted to make everyone think that Zoe did it.




Megan entertained us with cartwheels

She hasn't lost her touch!

On Friday night Phil and I drove down to Garden City and attended the musical "Annie Get You Guns" at the Pickleville Playhouse. It was such a great musical!

On Saturday we headed up to Paris Idaho to spend a night at my brother Tony's land. On the way we stopped and went through Minnetonka Cave. What a huge cave. It took us 1 and a half hours to walk through it.

Here are a couple of pictures of the inside of the cave.....


This is my brothers land in Paris. He owns 20 acres in the mountains and he has developed it into a beautiful campground over the past several years.

Tony just built these Hooches, as he calls them, for his guests to stay in. They are very nice and comfortable. He has two so far and plans to build another one.

A place for relaxing down by the stream

Phil helping Tony unload some wood that Tony had cut the day before up the mountain.
After spending the night at Tony's we loaded up and headed back home. It was such a wonderful week and we had such a good time together!
Here is a cute video of Zoe playing on the beach at Bear Lake......The End
