We spent the weekend before school started over at Bear Lake. We stayed at Ideal Beach in one of their new "hotel rooms". We debated cancelling since it was only about 10 days after Lars' surgery, but we decided that he could sit around over there just as well as he could over here. It was such a fun trip! And actually Lars did most of the stuff we did...thanks to his knee-walker. So much nicer than crutches! He even took it down to the beach.
We got there Saturday afternoon about 3:30 and checked in. Our room ended up being so nice! And so convenient. We could park almost right next to it. The boys LOVED it because it had BUNK BEDS!
Actually that was pretty much why we chose it :) And we love Ideal Beach. It's so fun to have the sand and water a 5 minute walk away, as well as a swimming pool, miniature golf and big park to play on.
Of course the first thing they wanted to do was swim in the swimming pool, so I figured we might as well get it over with :) Oh how I hate swimming pools. Usually Lars will just take them in, but these days everything is pretty much up to me. Funny how many things you learn to do if you have to.
Anyway it was fine and they actually didn't want to stay and play too long, so that was nice. Then we mostly just hung out in the room and went to dinner that night, then watched a movie. They slept so good in those bunkbeds (after they finally fell asleep that is...little stinkers!)
Sunday we got up and had our breakfast we'd brought along, then got ready to go to the beach.
Now that I could do all day.
Give me a good book and I really could lay there for hours. And usually the boys will play and play for hours in the sand and water too.
Well not that day.
They played for maybe an hour and wanted to go back to the room. So Lars took them back and I stayed a couple more hours. I think they just really wanted to play on the bunk beds!
Then after awhile we decided to go try out the miniature golf.
It was lots of fun...Ashton and Gunnar loved it.
About halfway through my Mom and Harry came to visit and take us to dinner. I'm glad they were able to come over and hang out for awhile. Then later that night we took the boys down to play in the park in the dark. They were having so much fun on this old slide!
After another good night's sleep, we got up and got ready on Monday morning and headed home. It was a fun way to end off our summer and I think we'll make it a yearly trip!
I love this last picture...I thought it was so cute how Gunnar (usually Mommy's boy all they way) wanted to hold Lars' hand on the way back to our room from playing at the park in the dark...
Oh and just to reminisce a little...here are a couple pictures from our trip over to Ideal Beach a couple years ago. (Ashton was only 4 1/2 and Gunnar about 15 months)
