Raspberry Days






Last weekend I ventured off to Bear Lake with my girlfriend Rachel, her three kids, and her mother. I took the two kids with out Lindsay to see if I could do it (day and night with out any relief and having to take care of and handle both kids, whom are so needy at their ages, all at once). This was a big deal for me. It was some work but because Rachel is so amazing and her kids are so great they took care of Faith for me and gave me the time I needed to tend to Owen (when really needed). We had a good time. The drive to and from Bear Lake was wonderful. Both kids were REALLY good and slept most of the way. I never heard much out of Owen and Faith was a sweet heart. We played at the beach, went into town for dinner and to check out the "Raspberry Days" fair and cute crafty booths. I thought it was really nice. We went swimming at the pool and let the kids play at the park.

Thank you Rachel for letting us join you and your adorable kids at your condo. We had a blast and can't wait until next time..

Mandi, I love you. I had to laugh at just because we used to always bug you about your spelling. You are silly. Looks likes it was fun. We have Cornfest down here in Enterprise on the 23rd. I hear it is fun. Too bad you all can't come down.

There really is a big monster at the bottom of Bear Lake. Looks like it's been a fun summer.
