Every year for the 4th of July, the only place I want to be is in Bear Lake! It is hands down my favorite place on earth. My grandparents have owned this cabin since 1996 and it’s only a little over two hours away from our home. Any weekend I have free, I just want to be there. As some of you may remember, last year my grandpa died in a car accident on his way up to the cabin for the 4th of July so this was a great healing year for all of us to be there. It really was his favorite place and I feel so close to him while I’m at “his kingdom”!
I’ve been SO excited to bring my kids up to the cabin since I was a little girl so this has been the highlight of my motherhood so far! The entire drive up I got to sit next to her in the back and couldn’t stop staring at her. Those dang lashes!
We normally do the same things every time we go up. Eat Raspberry shakes, go boating, play yard games, read books, watch movies, ride the ATV’s and just relax as a family.
These two love “Baby!”
On the morning of the 4th, we walked out to the beach and saw the most incredible bald eagle perched on a branch right above us!! If that’s not All-American I don’t know what is… we even saw it dive into the lake, grab a fish, and eat it. What!
That water! So blue. I’ll never get over it.
If you ever want me to show you a picture of MY HAPPY PLACE, here it is.
We also love celebrating the 4th because it is this kids birthday! I can’t believe he leaves on his mission in a month. I have no clue what I’ll do without him for two years… just might have to plan a trip to Peru.
Promise she had a blast…

Until next time, BL! Hopefully for my birthday in August!
