Bear Lake Part 2

Sunday morning we got up and had a delicious breakfast then went to the Minnetonka Caves. It was a little drive up a beautiful canyon. We weren't sure what to except of the caves but I had been told they were cool.

It was a guided tour with a maximum of 30 people. Our tour guide was a complete idiot but other than her we really enjoyed it.
Here we are at the entrance of the caves.

We had Hudson all bundled up ready to go. The caves are 40 degrees year round. Lane was a trooper and packed Hudson the whole way. I thought we would be able to take the stroller but come to find out you go up and down 444 steps. . .one way!!! We're guessing he's probably 17-18 pounds. Some of those stairs were pretty steep.
Hudson and Daddy

Brooklyn stayed with either Grandma or Grandpa the whole time because we started walking down the first set of stairs and I almost fell down them. So she said, "mom you're not very good." And didn't want to hold my hand the rest of the time. I don't blame her though.


These caves were really interesting. There are formations all over from something that drips from the ceiling of the cave. How's that for informational! I was paying attention but let's be honest, my attention span is that of a 3 year old!

After the caves we went down to the lake. We were on the North Shore and it wasn't too crowded. We packed a lunch and ate in on the beach then played in the water.






Brookie was having fun burying herself in the sand.
Then she buried Daddy
Guess that wasn't has much fun because then she buried herself again.
Hudson was supposed to be sleeping but apparently talking to Grandma is much more fun!
Rice krispie treat and Dr. Pepper, she's set!!
We went back to the house and Brookie played darts with Daddy while we prepared a delicious Sunday dinner.
She's got great form!


Sunday night Lane's parents left. We packed up Monday morning to head to Logan to go out on a date while Lauren and her friends watched the kids.
Before we left to Logan we grabbed some lunch. This was Hudson's first time sitting in a high chair and his first time trying a french fry!

When we got to Logan I had a text message from my Mom that said to call Dad when I had a minute. So I called him and he said Grandpa was in the hospital and wasn't doing very good. But that they didn't know what was wrong with him and it could be hours before they knew. So we decided to go golfing and then head back home. That sounds terrible that we went golfing but by the time we did get home, my Dad had just barely been able to go see him. They had been running all sorts of tests.
She loves to go golfing. Lane bought her her own club "just her size," as she would say!

I stayed in the cart with the munchkins sweating to death. When we got back to the truck it said it was 90 degrees!


We had such a fun family vacation even though it was cut short it was very much needed!
