Bear Lake

My aunt Alice and uncle Dave were kind enough to let us stay with them at their cabin at Bear Lake last weekend. What a nice getaway!

We went to Minnetanka Cave in Idaho. Who knew in 90 degree weather than I was supposed to pack jackets for a tour of a cave that is 40 degrees?! So the girls wrapped up in blankets instead.

We just got in the cave and I took my second picture and...you guessed it. The battery died and the spare battery was dead too! :( Well, the cave was fun. 440 steps down though and then 440 steps back up. We had the carry the girls the whole way up and needless to say, I was out of breath!
This is Jewel. She was such a crackup. She says hello, bye-bye, and cracker among other things. Her timing is what is hilarious. And she can laugh like nobody's business.

Bella and Dad.


The hummingbirds were loving their feeder out on the deck.


Bryndi thought it was just as fun to swing from the top of the swing.

Yes, that's a pregnant tummy I'm sportin'.

At this point I'm disgusted with the lack of picture taking I did. I didn't take any pics of us playing out on the lake, of the 3 dogs the girls adored, of my wonderful aunt and uncle, of Richard's family David, Cindy, Braden, Carter, and Sylvia that met us to play on the lake, of us 4 wheeling, etc. etc. You'll just have to imagine that stuff!

AND, I don't have final picture of Bella with her Binky. Cause it's finally gone! We cut the tip off of them all and she decided that she didn't like them anymore. Day 2 without having to keep track of that silly piece of silicone. She hasn't cried much at all, and she only wakes up once in the night. Wish I'd done it sooner!

Looks like you had fun! There are some great pictures in there. And congrats on no binky! It is wonderful not having to keep track of them like you said. I think it was harder for me to see them gone than for Kian not to have them. It was just another sign that he was growing up.
