This Memorial Weekend, my family was lucky enough to schedule our cabin up in Bear Lake. It was still too cold to break out our boat, but we had plenty of fun on shore. We drove up late Friday night after Zach’s ice hockey game. I don’t love driving up to Bear Lake (unless we go the Logan way and get to stop at Grist Mill) but I do love driving with Zach and talking with him. We talked about all the fun things we want to do in New York, visiting other places, the Adele Concert (which got postponed), and much more. It was my favorite part of the weekend.
Saturday morning the boys decided to go shooting. Ahh, what a tender family picture….(plus Josh). Warren G should have been playing in the background…
Mom and I went on a quest for butter, the only thing we forgot to bring. We drove around the lake, talking and laughing. I couldn’t believe how green everything was, thanks to all the rain, and the lake level was higher than I have ever seen it. The entire beach in front of our cabin is gone. Only about 20 yards of grass separate us from the water line. We had an awesome dinner (thanks to our butter) and my Dad’s excellent BBQ skillz but we couldn’t stay long. We enjoyed the drive home through Logan Canyon.
Sunday, after church, I went kind of crazy. After our two hour nap I went on a full on mission. I organized everything. Our guest bedroom’s walk-in closet (which previously was a cluttered mess of all my holiday decor), our future nursery closet, our cars, my pantry, the fridge, and our coat closet. Then I washed all our laundry, washed our bed linens, baked a couple batches of banana muffins, and even clipped some coupons. I guess all the rain made me stir crazy inside our house. Zach was just laughing watching me dart from on side of the house to the other.
We were a little bummed to wake up to rain Monday morning. We did manage to run some errands and get really distracted at Barns & Noble, though. We hit up a matinee movie and ended the night with sushi and Red Mango. There’s nothing like a four day weekend. We only wish it could have gone by a little slower…
