On our last day we went to see Bear Lake. We had our lunch right by the lake and Nathan liked to walk out on a rock and scare mom and grandma getting too close to the edge.
My family wanted to go on a short hike to a waterfall and I thought we could probably do a short hike. How had I forgotten the lesson I learned earlier in the week? Was I crazy? We put the kids in the carriers to go on the hike, but about 5 minutes in we knew it was a no go. Nathan was having another fit in the carrier so I hiked back up the mountain. At least this time we were able to get back a lot sooner. We played in the car for about 30 minutes until papa and Adrianne were back from the hike.
While we were at the lake, my dad started talking to a park ranger. He told my dad about a dirt road that had been closed for 3 years, but that had just reopened two weeks earlier. The park ranger assured us that it was really smooth since it just reopened. There is only one paved road through the park so we were ready to see something new. It took us the back way up to the top of the mountain. There were a lot of glaciers, waterfalls, and even a few lakes.
And then it was time to go home. After 2 weeks of being away, it was really nice to be home, back to our schedule, and see Brad everyday. But we sure miss our grandma, papa, aunties, and uncle Byron!

I'm so glad we got to spend this time with you and Nathan and Evy, and so glad Brad was able to come join us too! Definitely the highlight of our summer!
