We love Bear Lake!!!

At the end of July we met with all the Murri family for a reunion at Bear Lake.  We always love a good excuse to go there, but it was also great to see lots of family that we don't get to see very much.  Most of the time we were there it was rainy and cool, but the kids did brave the beach a few times, and we managed to bring home plenty of sand. :)  We also forced them to go on a boat.  Seriously.  While we were out, we passed by their cousins, also on a boat and I heard Jeff say to Hailee, "Looks like they forced Dana on too."

(Note: at some point this summer we put our phone on the counter in water, and although we were able to get the phone working again, the camera just hasn't taken the greatest pictures since.  Sorry about the poor quality.  You'll have to deal with it.)

We stayed at a fun condo that had lots of activities for the kids.  This is Jeff enjoying a skate board ride with his cousin, Dana.

We also got to explore the Minnetonka caves nearby.  It was quite the experience trekking through with 12 (I think?) kids less than 8 years old.  Let's just say there were many backs that needed massaging after the experience.

Here are the kids with all their Murri cousins, minus Cale, the only other boy.  We've got a lot of blonde and pink cuteness going on here!

I handed the phone to Lydia on the way back to the condo and when I got it back it had a bunch of pictures like this on it.  I thought it was pretty darn cute.  :)  I also love that her "hiking" shoes were these shiny black ones.

So glad we got to end our trip with a sunny day!  While we were playing on the beach we got a call from our real estate agent letting us know all our closing documents went through and our house was ready for us.  Next up for the Murris: go home and MOVE!!!
