Sam Family Reunion - Bear Lake Utah 2021

 All my pictures are in backwards order, so here's our family reunion backwards!

On our way home from Utah we stopped at Grandma Bear's house and picked blackberries, apples, and tomatoes. It was a needed break.


We spent a few days with Courtney's family.


Feeding his bear Bampa's leftover Dr. Pepper.

It was a looong car drive - 13 hours to Bear Lake,

We went on a double date with Courtney and Rob when we stayed with them.

We spent a couple days with Faith and Jason.


On the way back from Bear Lake we stopped by and visited a childhood friend of mine, and then wento to Lamoni's parents for a day and a half. 




Goodbyes at the cabin we all stayed in at Bear Lake.

Family time in the hot tub.

We spent most afternoons at Bear Lake. There was a beach we found that was absolutely perfect for a bunch of little kids.

Courtney organized a fun relay race. The kids did it first and then the adults had a turn.

The kids' talent show. Benjamin showed some of his drawings. Peter did his Aladdin dance.


























Eating famous raspberry shakes. We tried about 4 different 


All the grandkids in front of a replica of the bear that was killed that Bear Lake was named after. Apparently it was some distance relative of the family who killed it.

It's a good thing this town is used to big family groups.

Aunt Mariah was able to calm Liam down, even though he usually doesn't let anyone hold him besides me and Lamoni.

The cabin we rented was perfect. There was a playground, grassy area, fire pit, hot tub, theater room, 2 living spaces and 2 kitchens.

The men made dutch oven peach cobbler in the fire pit.
