Flowers


The Making of Calvin
























It all started with an idea for a book report on Calvin & Hobbes, the rest is as they say...history.

The lake at Bear Lake...












Bear Lake Shakes!!
















Fortunately for me, Nate forgot his phone charger on this trip, but he did steal mine one time to sneak in a little bit of work....arrggghh!




How do you guys expect me to sleep on the beach with all this racket!


Andy is in the little tube behind the wave runner. He loved it!















Annual Bear Lake Events

Family Olympics




Pregnant Mama Chelsea placed impressively in the race, but then could not walk the next day,


Family Talent Show

Libby danced to Eye of the Tiger since she likes to box unsuspecting victims. Very cute!

We were supposed to drive back to Salt Lake after church for school the next day but decided to stay and skip the extra drive and miss some school. Andy did some impromptu juggling sticks and I spotted Maya on some tumbling tricks since we hadn't planned on being there for the talent portion this year. I am glad we stayed because my kids love their turn in the light!


Drew showed off his impressive eating skills and managed to poop as if on cue.


Grandpa Mac showed his ability to sketch without watching what he's doing....


....a fabulous picture of Andy's eye. A great talent, but I really missed the animal interpretations he did last year.


Adam, Chelsea and Hannah pulled a Von Trapp family act for everyone.


Rob & Abby pulled some awesome swing dancing moves.





Sarah & Ted stole the show this year dressing up as each other and sharing a typical morning conversation. Hilarous!!


Uncle Dave reading his famous award winning poetry.
Some of the annual bear lake events are the highlight of the trip. There's the family talent show, olympics and of course a show at the Pickleville play house.

Bear Lake Activities

Bocci Ball.

Card games in the day and tons more after the kids are in bed.

Family Picture Bingo.






Baby Drew's first hit on the pinata!






Annual Stevenson Golf Tournament. Uncle Dave took the trophy this year. Ted was quite ashamed. Mindy played well representing all the women in the family.

Andy woke up at 6:30 to play with the guys this year.


My favorite golfers!
