Bear Lake

 

So on our way home from Fudgeburg, we took a bit of a detour and ended up in Bear Lake with the Nye family.

We were there Friday and Saturday doing all sorts of great things. A random storm came in Friday night so we weren't on the lake too long, but when we woke up Saturday morning the weather was practically perfect. In fact, we both got extremely fried!!!!

 

Tolen and Lynea playing in the sand. And the boat. And the jet skis.

Most of the family...looking at a hole in the Relaxation Station



This was in the morning...and we're already turning red.

 

Mitch skiing! The water there is such a pretty color!

Ridin in the boat. And I think that's Mitchell skiin.

 

Matt wakeboarding

Love the color of the water...

Jeff and Tolen on the jet ski. Jeff is pretty much the only person Tolen will ride with for some reason that is unknown to the rest of us.

Katre and Mitch and Mason and a bunch of other people on the beach.
Its kind of cool cause you can walk out quite a ways before it gets deep.

Jeff and the frisbee

A bunch of boys trying to throw a frisbee out to the boat.
My dad said he'd buy anyone who could do it a milkshake.
They only got close...

Dad's boat

Tolen and some others in the sand...Bear Lake has an awesome beach!
 

Sarah chillin in a chair!

 

So....I am terrible at taking pictures when we're boating! I'm scared of dropping my camera in the water or something so I'm too careful. These are most of the pictures of Bear Lake we had, but it was incredibly fun! What an awesome way to end the summer. It was incredibly nice to be able to spend some time with the Nye family. We're super grateful for them and the support that they give us also! Thanks for taking us to Bear Lake!!!!! ...I also learned that the only time I don't trust Mitch completely is on a jet ski.......he gets kinda crazy ahahaha. But I still love him!

 

August was such a fun month! We got to spend so much time with our families and got to go on some much needed vacations.

 

Families REALLY ARE Forever!

 

 



Fudgeburg

 

This post has been in progress forever! Mitch even helped me write most of it :)

In August, we went on a vacation with Mitch's family!

We spent a week with the Sommer's in Georgetown, Montana. They also go to Phillipsburg, Montana. They call it Fudgeburg because there's a really good candy shop that sells fudge there....and for the longest time I really thought Fudgeburg was the real name of the place... :)

 

Mitch's family has been going to Georgetown for quite a while and they've made it a tradition to go every year. It was so fun to spend time with his family and get to know them better! We stayed in a cabin by the lake and went boating pretty much everyday. I would have to say that the Georgetown Lake is a very well kept secret...it had some of the smoothest water I've ever seen. They say it isn't usually like that, but I'm not sure I believe them. Nearly everyday we were there it was close to glass smooth!

 

Enough talk, here's some pics!

 

Phillipsburg, Montana

 

Its a tiny little place...but that's half of what makes it so cool!

There's a place called the Sweet Palace in Phillipsburg and I'm pretty sure I'd go back just for that. They have rows and rows of candy and chocolate and fudge of every flavor and taffy and a million flavors of soda pop and...pretty much everything sweet you could imagine. Plus some puppets that were really cool...random, I know.

 

Mitch and I and Traegan at the Sweet Palace! They had soooo much candy!

Ashten and Ana! With Grandma Bonnie in the background :)

The lake again.

And, the lake again. Look how glassy it was.

Abigail doing what she calls her Pirate face. It was hilarious. She just kept doing this.

A building in Fudgeburg. They're cool old looking buildings.

The candy store...basically a little piece of heaven

Delicious.

Ok! That is all the pictures we're going to put up right now for this vacation of ours...it is taking forever to upload them for some reason! Maybe we'll add some more later :)

 

Basically. this vacation was AWESOME. We're both incredibly thankful to Mitch's parents for taking us along and giving the family an opportunity to spend time together and make memories! (Hey Kyle...act natural!) Ana loved it cause she got to know Mitch's family even better...and she learned a lot about ducks.  We're both so grateful for Mitch's family and for all the love and support they continue to give us!

 

Family really is EVERYTHING.
