Corey and I did a pretty good ride this morning. We told Hyrum and Abi they were in charge, and then left for wherever Stump Hollow was. I can't tell distances on trailforks, cause I thought it was a lot closer, but it was a 30 min drive up Logan canyon. We were on the trail at 8:23 am. It was a good little trail. There were lots of butterflies and bugs. We went 14.87 miles, 2298 ft elevation gain, 2 hours 31 minutes.
It ended up being longer than we originally planned, cause we missed a turn off and ended up continuing along Peter Sinks road, which we didn't know we were on. We thought we were doing the loop, but missed the sign showing that to continue on the loop, you had to go right. We would have missed it the second time too, had I not looked at my phone every 30 seconds to see if we were there yet, and then when it showed me that we were at where we had to turn and so I looked to find it and then we saw it. It was not well marked. After that long ride, I was ready to cool off in the lake, so I went and joined people at the beach. Peter and I and Mikey started a new castle and I worked on that for a little bit
We rented a trampoline on the lake today from 2-4, so that was fun. Neil paddled me out to it, then I did some swimming around there, and then decided to swim to shore.
Bear Lake is nice in that the water is so pretty and blue, and that the shore is a nice gradual slope, so you can touch the ground pretty far out.
Then to trampoline and back again. Swimming felt good. Katharine was busy with making a castle again.
Peter got really into it too, and he was building for like 4 hours. Seriously the whole time we were there, and he didn't stop for food or anything.
Cousin Mikey helped too.
Mikey was at the trampoline for a bit but when he came back he worked on it again with Peter. Corey came to the beach after spending some time working, and he came to watch P&K continue to build in the sand. Neil and Grant working on their new tying technique that Joseph introduced them to, ha! It was funny to see all the guys working at it with such focus!
Time to pack up and leave. Another family that was near us had lots of great sand castle supplies and built and amazing castle. They left before we did, and left behind a bunch of colored sea shells on their castle, so Peter and I collected those up and took them back to the house!
Back at the house - my dad with cute baby Daisy!
Coreys got babies too.... his two grandbabies!
Then time to enjoy some dinner.
Followed by desserts - Amy made cookies, and Katharine got to eat some of the mini MnM's leftover!
I don't know what Joseph is talking to my parent's about here, but I thought it was a cute photo.
Playing cards -
And kids watching movies when they're taking a break from pickleball and the video game consoles.
Overall it was a great day. Kids are staring Secret Hitler now... I'm going to go to bed though.
...just in case it's anything like last night, when Abi and Hyrum stayed awake until past 1:49 am!
