Bear-ly Lake

We were able to go to bear-ly lake (as Alivia calls it??)
My mom's good friend has a cabin she lets our family stay at.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I am not really a tent person, o-kay!!
It is so pretty up there and the kids love it. We went on 4 wheeler rides, played on the beach, (or played at the Ocean as Cooper refers to it)
Cooper sat in the same spot digging, splashing and just having a good time for about 2 hours.
Alivia loves to make mud cakes, which she likes to throw at her mother.
Bauer just loves to play who ever and where ever he will join the crowd.

The only downside, but still fun was both of my sisters and some of you know have been fortunate enough to adopt.
Jennifer has adopted 3 and Stephanie has adopted one and has adoptions date set for the other two.
The really neat thing is, when I was pregnant with Alivia and after I had Alivia Jennifer found out she would be getting a little girl born 5 months after Livi, and then Stephanie ended up getting a little girl. So the pattern was set. I had a boy, Jennifer adopted a boy. Stephanie got a little boy ( in foster care you don't get to choose, who, what or when just the age range)
I had another boy and yes both sisters got boys.

So now my mom after YEARS of no grandchildren has 10 grandchildren under the age of 5.

AND YES they were all there at bear lake and it was BUSY!!!!!

Glad to be HOME!!! and I only left with 4 out of 10 wheeeewwww........-



A side note of funnies.

The other day I told Alivia that her hair had a lot of fly-a-ways and she said, yes my hair does get flys sometimes:)

And Bauer at Bear Lake, we would see quite a few deer and he would say "Mom, Mom, look a beer"
