Bear Lake camping excursion!

Ok folks, so last month a couple good friends of mine (Sarah & Lana) and I drove up to Bear Lake to camp. Though we only stayed for one night...BOY did we have a lot of fun! We arrived late afternoon, which gave us plenty of time to get our campsite set up and ready before the sun got too low that we couldn't see what we were doing. Once the sun did eventually go down we got a SUPER SWEET fire blazing...I was quite proud of ourselves!...and we roasted hotdogs and munched on yummy smores-a MUST for camping! Once the fire eventually simmered down we retreated into our tent to play a few games of cards and soon after conked out from our long drive (not too long, but still!) and our rapidly decreasing sugar high. The following morning, Sarah decided to get up at 5 am... :O!... to see if she could snag some good pictures of the sunrise...and OH MAN she got some really amazing shots! There are FAR too many to show you them all, but here are a few of my faves!
After sleeping in a bit more we all got up and packed up all of our stuff and drove over the beach arena. We had so much fun in the water! We swam all the way to the booies (SP?) and back. I guess thats not TOO much of an accomplishment, but its still a pretty good work out! The water was sooo freezing though I had to go back to Lana's car to get my blankie...No doubt I looked PRETTY SILLY wearing a big blanket on the beach while everyone else was running around in their bathing suits! lol
The rest of the time we played more card games on the beach and munched on our left over food we had brought up before we packed everything up and headed home. As short as it was, it was definitely a fun trip! The only bad thing about it, when we were at the beach, all three of us completely forgot about putting on sunscreen and YES, we SEVERELY paid for that! Major sunburns on all of us. :( Next time, I will be SLATHERING the stuff on!

Until next time....ASH
