Yesterday we went to Bear Lake, which is just through the canyon near my house, called Logan Canyon. My girlfriend, her two kids, me, and my two kids all loaded up and drove up and fared well during the hour drive and then parked on the beach. We watched the kids play, interchanging buckets of water then sand, running to and fro looking like busy little ants. The wind off the lake kept us cool, while the sun kept us reasonably warm. One thing that my friend and I both enjoyed was seeing that the kids would run in the water, then run up to the dry sand and lay down to make sand angels. My little girl doesn’t have many crevices, but the nooks and crannies she does have, were filled with sand.

It was a beautiful day and now today, my kids are asking me with expectation, with “what are we going to do today?” I better get busy and think of something other than just grocery shopping!
