Raspberry Days at Bear Lake!

The First Weekend in August means it's time to drive to Bear Lake for some Boating, Raspberry Shakes, Lots of Laughs and Good Times. Jody's parents have built a beautiful cabin in Fish Haven, ID where the entire family can gather and make great memories. This year for the TAIT FAMILY REUNION - the whole family was together, including the whole crew from Utah and Kerry, Stacy and their kids from Florida.


Every day was crammed with fun and excitement. We drove to Lava Hot Springs where we floated the river. That was intense.


Kerry and Greg Plunging into the Pool.





Jody Doing Some Free-Falling!





We enjoyed the pool, and the boys went off the 33 foot High Dive. Yikes!


Jeff and Lacey had the spectacular idea to rent these bikes and race around town.

And now for some more action shots...


*Thanks Kylene for snapping the "drive by"...(err...pedal-by) picture...even though it almost ended with us in a ditch!


*The water was choppy anyway this day...so it made for an extra bumpy ride on the tube!


Gracie Loved her First Visit to Bear Lake!


We also went on a gorgeous hike up to Bloomington Lake - where the boys showed off their skills on the rope swing.

Fun pictures. As long as I lived in Utah I never went to Bear Lake. It looks like I am missing out. I can't believe Gracie is as big as she is. Alli commented that she looks like Jody.

I am so glad you sent me a blog invite! This is a really cute blog...and your little Gracie Jo is absolutely darling! From the pictures it looks like she has such a cute personality too. It was fun to see pictures of your parents too. I love your parents, they were the most supportive drill parents!

I know Steve already made a comment. I wanted to add one too!!! Looks like a lot of fun times. Gracie really needs to be in a magazine. She is an absolute doll. I love how happy she is.

How fun! Wish I could've been home to see ya! I loved the pics with you and Becky. We need to get her blogging!

I love Bear Lake! It is a really fun place. Looks like so much fun!

Gracie is so cute! I think that I say that in every comment but it is true. She is always so happy, but then again when do take pictures of them unhappy. Not very often for me.

Looks like you had a great time at Bear Lake. The bike racing looked fun!

It was really fun to have you down here for a visit, thanks for inviting us over to swim. Do you think you could email me the pictures you took? Hope to see you soon.

Wow! You have a lot of posts since I last checked. Looks like you had a great summer. I'm a little offended that you'd go to Bear Lake without letting me know...we're so close! Next time give me a call and we'll drive out to spend a few hours with you.
