Here is the beautiful sunrise on Friday morning. This was the perfect family vacation to have 2 other families come with us. We got 2 condo's at Bear Lake and it was a blast. There were 3 couples and 7 kids: Max (5), Greysen, Elle, Hannah (3), King (11 mos), Dakota (5 mos), and Piper (4 mos) It was great to have the kids entertain each other and the grown up to have game time in the evening.
Friday we packed up our cars and headed to North Beach. We set up camp there and MacKinlay met us a little while later with the rental boat, and we all took turns going out on the the lake in the boat. We were lounging on the beach, playing in the sand, swimming in the beautiful blue water, enjoying the scenery, going out on the boat, etc. Around 2:30 MacKinlay and Greysen started to head back to return the boat, and when he was about 200 yards out from the shoreline the boat stopped and we could see him kind of freaking out, but we didn't know what was going on. Adam called him and we found out that the key had snapped in the ignition! Leave it to MacKinlay to break something. Fortunately the guys were able to find pliers and take them to Mac and the boat started. During that drama, we got hit with some serious wind out of nowhere and the Madsens canopy uprooted and started flying and we had kids screaming because the sand was lashing against their legs and backs and flying in their eyes, we were freaking out because we just barely saved the three babies from getting smashed by the canopy, the wind finally let down and we were able to get the kids and babies in the car. We had dinner, went swimming at the resort pool, got some raspberry shakes, put the kids to bed and had some adult time.
The Girls on the trip. Hannah, Kate, Piper, Kristin, Elle and Cara.
The kids playing before we went to the pool. Greysen, Hannah, Elle and Max.
Mommy with Piper at the pool. Her first time in a bathing suit.
Max climbing up the tennis court. This was on Saturday when Greysen decided to throw up all day. Poor little guy it was so sad and I was worried about Piper getting sick so Mac and I took turns taking care of Greysen. I thought I was home free when I didn't get sick after several days until Wed night I started throwing up :(

It was such an awesome vacation. If only Greysen hadn't started throwing up and it'd lasted a few more days!!
