Bear Lake Adventure... or a 4 hour milkshake run!!!!

On Friday Doug and Peggy planned a fun Bear Lake adventure for us all. Peggy went to so much work to get a lot of fun snacks while Doug loaded his truck. Brandi and Daxton, Doug and Peggy, and Caden and I all set off around noon for our exciting day. The drive up was so much fun. We were all able to talk and share hilarious stories. By the time we got to Bear Lake the wind had started up and it was completely overcast :(. SO SAD!! The boys made the final decision and we ended up just getting some yummy milkshakes instead!! The weather was not good enough to enjoy ourselves or to fulfill our fun day we had planned. We were all bummed but we were able to spend a lot of time together and we made it fun anyways!
Peggy told me about a trip they had when the kids were young and how she learned the most important part of family outings are the memories you make on the way there and back... definitely TRUE. We were all able to create such fun memories and it was definitely a day we wont ever forget... despite the fact that it turned out a lot different than we all expected! I am thankful for my fun inlaws and sweet husband who have helped to make this summer so enjoyable!!! and I do have to admit... THAT MILKSHAKE WAS ALMOST AS GOOD AS A CONCRETE!!!!
