Easter at Bear Lake

My grandparents have a time-share condo at Bear Lake and they let family use it so I noticed that the condo was available during the Easter weekend.  I checked the weather (65-68 during the day) and my grandma said no one was using it so we invited some friends and off we went.  So glad we did.  It was perfect weather for April and because it was off season no one else was really there so it was quiet and not crowded.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Astle!

We invited the Barnes' family.  The mom is the music specialist at the school I teach at and we have become friends being on the same team.  Her husband and mine both love to golf so they got along great and they went golfing everyday at the golf course just across the border in Idaho.  They said the view was beautiful.  They have 3 kids.  Two of them are a lot older than mine but they were great with my kids.  It was a lot of fun and I am glad they could come.  

We were going to leave Friday night but knowing how horrible traffic is on a Friday evening especially Easter weekend we decided to leave Saturday morning.  We stopped in Brigham City to say hi to Danny's grandparents.  Then we went to Logan to my grandparent's house to pick up the key and bedding for the condo and off we went.  We had lunch on the way so when we got there we unpacked and the kids went straight for the park and played.

Then we went back to have dinner and then we went back to the beach to try out some fishing.  No luck but the kids have fun throwing rocks in the lake.  The lake was definitely still too cold for swimming.

Sunday morning we made a pancake breakfast and then went for a drive and played at another park in Garden City where we waited for our friends to show up.  Then we let them unpack and the men took the kids down to the lake while us women hid eggs for an easter egg hunt.  There is a mini golf course by our condo so we hid the eggs there.  My kids sure had fun finding the eggs and of course eating all the candy out of it.  

 After we had lunch then the boys went golfing and we had the kids take naps or watch a movie.  Then we took the kids swimming.  The hot tub was open and the kiddie pool so the kids loved it.  We had dinner, put the kids to bed and the adults watched a movie.  The next day (great the we all had work off so we could stay longer) the boys went golfing after breakfast (thanks for all the yummy food Allison!) and us girls took the kids to the park and lake to play. Then we packed up and cleaned the condo and off we went.  We wanted to stop and get lunch in Garden City but because it was the off season nothing was open so we drove into Logan and had lunch. Then we went fishing at first dam and then we went home.  It was a great get-away that I definitely needed with great people:)  Wish we could have stayed longer.  It was my spring break the rest of the week so I had so much fun being home with my two little ones.  I LOVE them so much and I really enjoyed playing with them and just being with them all day.
