My Bear Lake Birthday

My birthday was actually this last Sunday, but we celebrated early and went up to Bear Lake. We had so much fun up there, and although we went up for the lake and the raspberry milkshakes (which I surprisingly only had 1 the whole weekend we were there... what was I thinking??) our favorite part was probably the pool! And even crazier... it was indoor! Why you ask? Not only did they have a regular sized pool, but they had a kiddie pool that was quite shallow so Maddie was able to jump and swim as she pleased with no floaties at all. She met quite a few friends while we were there.

She also loved showing off her bobs in the water. We are amazed at how well she can hold her breath under water!
Even Chloe loved the pool! She liked to lick the water off her floaty. It was pretty embarrassing when it was time to go, literally dragging Maddie out of the water back to our condo. And she cried the whole way. That girl could have stayed in the pool all night if we'd let her!
We had fun building sand castles and building a dam so that when the boats came by, the wake wouldn't come and drench all of our stuff.... again! It worked!! And we had fun building it. Sorry, no picture! :(
While we were at the beach, Maddie learned to pee in the lake. Ya, big accomplishment, I know! But it did take a bit for her to actually be able to do it! There was a little boy next to us learning to do the same thing, pretty funny! There were no bathrooms around so it was our only choice! Then we gave her the lesson about how we only pee in Bear Lake, no where else! I could just see it happening, Maddie thinking it's OK to pee in the pool!
We also went on a bike ride... so fun for our whole family! It was quite the workout for Mike and I, but the girls seemed to love it, laughing and giggling most the way, waving to everyone we passed!
