We went to Bear Lake last week for a vacation. It was so fun. This is our third year in a row coming to Bear Lake in the summer. We stayed at the Worldmark Resort in our condo this year. The last two years we camped at the KOA. Now camping is fun, but having the condo was an entirely different experience. Much more relaxing.
We got to Bear Lake on Tuesday, July 8th, 2008. We just swam at the resort pool and ate dinner and watched movies. The next day we went to the lake and then Wednesday we drove up to Minnetonka cave. It is a really large 9 room cave with 880 stairs roundtrip. The longest stretch of stairs is 71 and is called the "stairway to heaven." It is 40 degrees year round in the cave. There were lots of neat formations in the cave and a couple of dead bats. The kids really enjoyed it.

We also rented a boat this year. We had it reserved for Thursday, but when we woke up Thursday morning it was very overcast and windy. We went to the marina to get the boat and there were white caps on the water. It was really choppy and me and Audrey and Emalee all came back very green and feeling awful. We ended up returning the boat early. Luckily, they allowed us to have 2 more hours on Friday. So Friday morning we woke up and the weather was perfect and the water was calm. It was a much more enjoyable day. Sterling and I got up on water skis and the kids tubed. It brought back memories for me and Sterling of summers spent on the lake.
We also hooked up with my mom and dad, Aunt Debbie and her girls and Brian and Wendy. They all came in Thursday night and stayed at the KOA. We all rented banana bikes and rode around the KOA and when it got dark we had a firepit together and roasted smores.
