Bear River Lodge

From August 8th-11th our immediate family was able to enjoy the great outdoors up in the Wasatch Mountains.  We rented a couple of cabins at Bear River Lodge.  This was a perfect place to spend those few days with lots of fun things to do.  One of the best things was the day we rented quads.  We were able to rent enough so that everyone could go out together at the same time. 

Our whole group getting ready to head out.

 Nicole wasn't able to join us, however, because she got meningitis right before the trip and couldn't take the jostling involved with the quads. Because of that, I joined Eric and the kids in their 6 seater.  I have to say, it felt just like riding the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland.

After riding for about an hour we came to a beautiful lake (can't remember the name of it). It was fun to just stop, relax, and eat some beef jerky before heading back to the cabin.

Ella got to ride one of the bigger quads with Ryan

This is a bridge we got to cross.  It was so beautiful there!

Cheryl's friend Hillary joined us and got to go riding with Jared.

This is the cabin we stayed in...but you can't see the smaller cabin on the back side of this one where Eric and his family stayed.

It was fun to cool off in the pool...and wash off some of the dirt we collected.

Everyone (except me....cooking duties) went on a hike near the river.

I got to go on a hike later with Alan, Ethan, Ella, and Livi. The wildflowers were beautiful.

Alan, Ryan, Cheryl, and I stopped at Mirror Lake on the way back home.  Oh, I love Utah with all of its rivers and lakes.
