We've been trying to get in as much summer as we can before the days get too short and the temperatures drop too much. Last week we finally made it to our favorite water spots, Tony Grove and Bear Lake. Tony Grove is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes around. We got there just before dusk and while Kory rode his bike to White Pine (another lake a few miles away) the kids and I walked around the lake path. Gray has been interested in learning how to do some nature photography so he had the camera most of the time. He should be posting some of his pictures on his blog in the next few days.
We were the only people there which was so nice, but I'll admit that I spook myself easily. While on the far side of the lake, the kids were asking me what animals still roamed the mountains (at which point the sun had completely dipped below the horizon) and as we talked about it our feet started to move a little more swiftly. It didn't help that earlier that day Kory had been relating the tale of a near miss between mountain biker and a mountain lion that had taken place the week before in Kaysville. Thankfully we didn't see much wildlife beyond cows and an over-excited cattle dog.
We also were able to spend an afternoon playing at Bear Lake. I will never tire of passing over the summit of Logan canyon seeing the brilliant blue vista of Garden City and Bear Lake. Of course we joined the throngs of people indulging in burgers and shakes at LaBeau's then played on the beach for a couple of hours.
It was actually a bit chilly, but the kids didn't seem to mind. The best part was that we made it home free on sunburns!

So pretty! We were going to try to enjoy Saturday at the lake but it's been raining for 3 days straight. Glad you guys can enjoy some good outside time.
