Bear Lake 2010. Post #2 - Activities, projects and FUN!!!

Thanks to Aunt Rachie, the kids got to do the annual Ty-Dying of T-shirts and night shirts. Here we are fastening on dozens of rubber-bands, and spraying the colors.
We forgot to get a group picture. But here are the kids with Aleena, in their new shirts. So fun to have a new paint-splashed shirt every year!! No two alike.

We also had a campfire and roasted marshmallows, made CD spinning tops, and had a nail-painting party with the gals of all ages. The guys played horse shoes, we watched Ammon and Addison goof around on their bikes, we did a Bear Lake puzzle, played lots of games and stayed up WAY too late every night. Somehow we skipped most of the traditional night swimming and broad-day skinny-dipping this year. Too many little kids catching on I guess. Although I did see a few white dolphins surface.

The big group game this year was the TV show imitation, "Minute to Win it". We had two nights of adults competing, and did a kids "Minute to Win it" during the day. Here are the kids trying to blow the biggest bubble gum bubble, and blowing plastic cups of a table. Darin and Ammon are trying to get a cookie from their forehead to their mouth. And Amy is bouncing ping-pong balls and trying to catch them on her head. It's all pretty funny to watch. Thanks to Nate and Christy for setting it all up!!

There was just too much to pack into our six day stay. I guess next year we need a two-week stay!! Everyone game??
