Little St. George Getaway

Well, a couple times a year we LOVE to go to the condo in St. George.  We usually don't take pics because we're in relaxation mode, but I just so happened to bring a camera this time and snapped a few fun shots.

 Our little fishies...

 Kael chillin' on a lawn chair.

 Dallin is showing off his underwater flip.

 Hannah's step-by-step cannon ball maneuver.  First run, jump and grab your knees.

 .....hold your breathe and close your eyes.....

 ....and make the biggest splash you can.....  The judges panel in the back (Dad and Kael) gave her good marks.

 ...and she finishes it all off with a soggy smile!

 This trip we also brought Uncle Reed, Aunt Raquel and baby Jace!

...such a cute little water baby.

 Koen is just glad he can finally touch the bottom of the most shallow end of the big kid pool.

 We like to eat out on the patio.  This particular meal was breakfast with pancakes, eggs, bacon and juice, super yummy..

Bear Lake 2010

Well, it's that time if year again.  It seemed not to come fast enough.  I know our family were talking and planning since the spring.  The kids were especially excited to meet their new cousin, Hayden and see Aunt Andrea and Uncle Joe since it's been years.......

This is our view from the deck of the condo.  Of which I bummed I didn't take more pictures, but we were so busy from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. It was truly an action packed weekend. 

 Day 1 at the beach.  We arrived early enough to get a great spot and we just lounged around and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and warm water.

 Grandma and Grandpa Michaelson brought lots of fun stuff to play with.

 Koen, Dallin and Kael all playing ball with Dad.

 Snack break

 My beautiful son, Kael...such a sweetheart!

 There were a flock of birds Kael was trying to approach slowly and quietly but every time he would get close, another boy would run through them and they would all fly away.  When they landed in a different spot, Kael would try again only to have his plan foiled again.

 Grandpa overseeing the sandcastle construction.

Love you Honey! **just saying**

 Now since I'm so behind in posting this, I forgot the name of this game.  But when I was looking at this pic, Barry had made some comment on how perfect his form was....LOL

Koen and Kael take a stab at it.   

 Afterwards we all cleaned up and headed to bless baby Hayden.  Koen is ready!!

Such a beautiful little girl.

 Grandpa Michaelson, Hayden and Hannah

 I love Hayden's face in this one.  She loves her grandpa!

 Proud parents

 Grandma Nield and us

 Since we missed Dallin's birthday this year, we all celebrated together.  Cake and all!

 Day 2.....the Reunion.  We got there early to set up camp.  This is only part of our "section" of the beach.  And yes, they are all with us.

 Gy-normous sand castle.

 This is Kael mischievous face......right before he.....

 .....sent it my direction to catch.  I caught it on film, but that's about it.

 It's eatin' time!

 Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by their grandchildren.  Yeah, this was the best shot we could get at the time. 

 A quick shot of us.  So quick that some didn't even know we were taking it.   lol

 Group shot!  Love you guys, can't wait till we see you next year!
