Bunnies-The Family: Our Annual Bear Lake Trip!

Over Labor Day we took our annual trip to Bear lake. We always reserve the pavilion so we can all stay together. We used to get separate campsites, but we always spent our time in the same campsite anyway, and we got sick of hauling all our individual tables across the campground. In the pavilion, we have covered tables that are together and have built in lights so we can play games at night. This year we had a lot of fun, but it was pretty stormy all weekend. It's Bear lake so the weather will be unpredictable and it will most likely rain at least once, but this year the storm rolled in on Sunday afternoon, cold and STRONG. It got so bad that Matt, Melissa and Brian left a day early because the wind forced them to take down their tent and a lot of their stuff got wet. Actually about half of our campers went home Sunday night rather than Monday afternoon because the wind was so bad, they knew they wouldn't sleep anyway. We tried a new kind of pot luck deal that we tried this time. Usually, we do all our meals on our own in individual families, and then do one big pot luck night where we have a ton of food. This time we had each family take a night and do dinner for everyone. We really liked this because, that way you only have to cook and clean up dinner one night and you get to eat every night! It was awesome! Here are some pics from our trip:

We went down to the lake on Sunday afternoon. We were just getting out of the water when the storm rolled in Big Time! It actually took our inflatable raft and we had to chase it up the beach!
