Hurst Family Bear Lake Vacation

Hailey loving the slide at the pool!

Aida was brave and loved it!

The kids had so much fun in the pool the first night we were there,  they practiced their swimming skills.

Aida loved the shallow toddler pool, it was just right for lounging and felt like a bathtub.

The first day at the lake.  The water was a little cold, but no one seemed to mind.

Hailey and Aida loved the shallow water, there was an island out in the lake where they built sand castles.

Aida and Creighton having fun.

One of my favorite things about this trip was that Aida and Gracie became best friends.  They played together the entire time and didn't have one fight.

Notice the sand castle.

We were so lucky to have Grandpa there!  He helped keep an eye on all those wild kids when they were in the water.

By the end of the trip Aida was pretty good friends with Grandpa.  We don't see him often enough, but we love it when we do.

Painting on the beach.  What a fun idea.

Hailey learned that she absolutely loves water sports!  She loved the jet ski's, she even did a little knee boarding.  What a brave 6 year old.

Aida, true to herself, loved the jet ski too!  She couldn't go fast enough.

Matt is a fun dad and made sure that the kids both got to ride the jet ski's and play in the water as much as they wanted to.

Hailey went out several times, wishing she was big enough to do it herself.

Relaxing on the beach.

Hailey has loved Bear Lake since her first time there when she turned 4.  She begs to go every year, and so far she's made it happen.  Lets hope we can keep the tradition going!

We all had such a fun time.  It was great for everyone to get to know each other a little bit better.  Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
