Bear Lake **one of the many trips taken*

This is the first of many trips taken to Bear Lake this year.  We have gone back several times to fix up Barry's Grandma's house.  This trip, however, is the first time we were able to hop in the water.  The spring run-off was so overwhelming to the surrounding rivers and lakes that there was hardly any beach this season.  I've never seen the lake so high.

Stewart Falls and Such...

Stewart Falls.... a hike I try to go on every year.  It's a gorgeous hike up Provo Canyon.  Since we had colder than usual temperatures the snow wasn't completely melted. What we're standing on is all snow and ice!  The ground is still a couple feet below us.  So it was a little chilly in the shade.... standing on snow.... with mist from the falls blowing by.  It also rained on us while we were hiking in, made for the most awesome lush, mountain aromas.

David (Reed's childhood friend I've known him since he was 6, we've pretty much adopted him into our family), and his brother Taylor.

Baby Tolson.  We went and visited our newest nephew in the hospital.  Uncle Mike and Aunt Kyrsten had their 3rd baby boy!  Welcome Tolson!

Feeding the ducks. 

I love this pond not only because of the fun scenery but there are turtles that live in this pond too! 

You can see some of the turtle swimming around with the ducks!
