Gale Museum with the cousins

Adeline out of order pic the little pretend kitten in the store.
So Adeline and Evelyn got the lucky opporunity to spend a few extra days with their cousins, but the "in between" day we needed to kill a couple of hours with a more low key activity so I took them to the awesome little Gale Museum. It's small, but really fun for younger kids so they were the perfect age group. Mr. Wes being the teacher.
Here he said he was teaching me "about cheetah hunt". I later found out it was about the roller coaster and I had been on it!
Playing in the store.
The museum has remodeled since we were there a year or so ago, so they have some new additions. One is these cute "bonnets". I don't think Adeline knew how to put it on, so it was on backwards and it just made me laugh so hard I had to take a picture.

Working in the house stove.
Jace liked this little car.

And using the wheelbarrow.


Working on school stuff for the school room.

Wes enjoyed fishing.
Coming to the store again for some supplies.
Funny Adeline face.
 

Bear Lake Day 2, the "beach" day

Driving back home we stopped at Costa Vida for lunch. Out of order pic. 
This picture made me smile, everyone ready for the beach and watching Collin play block blast on his phone ha ha.
Cute beach girls. It was definitely not super warm at the beach the day we went. It was overcast most of the day. 
 We rented jet skis and all the kids and whoever else wanted to go out on them did.
The girls had fun hunting for treasures (shells).

Wes and Liam building something.


Cousin besties. The wind came up and blew our canopy up the beach and eventually we left a little early. It was still really fun though.
The girls got in the hot tub back at the house to warm up haha.


Adeline meditating in the corner ha ha.
Playing pool.
Helping Jace get around.

The pinball tournament with most of us left. Some people had to leave early the second day so they missed out!
Wes got in the semi-finals! I love that he had to stand on a chair to do it.
last night in the airbnb watching the live action Lilo and Stitch.
 

Bear Lake Day 2, the "boat" day

Because I didn't take a lot of pictures around the boating, I will have to get some from other people. We had a few hours on the boat, and most of our family did the tubing. I chose not to, but Evelyn and Adeline LOVED it. They went several times and were crazy. Evelyn fell off a few times, but no big deal. They are brave people! Here Grandpa bought some fish food and we fed the fish while some of the other group went out and did "surfing" on the boat the second half of our time.



Then Kari had heard about this place Zipz so we went down and ate dinner there. SUPER long line, but it didn't take too long and the food was good. Tried to get pictures of most people. 



Fun cousin besties walking back to the car. 
And the pinball playing continues :)
And the girls loved Mario cart on the game machine most. 
 

Bear Lake reunion 2025 day 1

Out of order pic with Liam hauling Wes around :)
Before we left, Adeline making a bracelet for Lainey.
More Wes hanging around Liam.
The airbnb house we stayed at was so fun. It had a loft type room upstairs with a fun old school pinball machine (that ALL the boys of all ages loved) and another game room type game that the 4 girls played on a lot during downtime.
These two best cousin friends! 
And the other 2 best cousin friends!
Wes playing foosball.
Hanging out in the kitchen starting to eat dinner.

More hauling around!
