BEAR LAKE

 We went to Bear Lake with Mike's family in August, and had a great time!
 The swings at the park are always a big hit.
 My little girl is growing up way to fast, isn't she beautiful?
 Mike had a good time throwing the football back and forth with his nephews.
 We walked down to the Lake from the Park.  We didn't spend much time at the Lake this time around, since it was still pretty low there was a ton of mud.
 We found an amazing place though that I am certain we will be going to again and again in the future.  Bloomington Lake.  It was absolutely amazing.  Gorgeous hike, beautiful Lake and a ton of fun.
 Here we are about to start at the trail head.
 It was only a mile hike, the scenery was beautiful and we passed two glacier lakes on the way to Bloomington Lake.

 I loved all the beautiful wildflowers.
 Bloomington Lake is a glacier Lake and even in the middle of August, it was FREEZING!  At one end of the lake is a giant tree that has a huge rope swing attached to it.  There were a ton of people there swinging from the rope and landing in the freezing water.  This did not sound at all appealing to me.  Mike, Emily and Brett however, gave it a shot.
 They did amazing!  I am so impressed by their bravery :)  I loved watching them swing out, let go and swim back.
 Just because he is so adorable :)
 One crazy thing was all the cows we saw, yep you heard me.  Cows.
And more cows.  It was a great trip, look forward to next year!
