Bear Lake, Utah

We made it to Bear Lake this week (I got a bit sunburned too, but it was worth it).  Bear Lake is only about 2 hours or so North of SLC and it is a great drive once you get into Logan and go thru the canyon.  We had a great time, and spent the whole day there, ate in Garden City, (which is a fun town) and made the drive back home by 11:00 PM. (All on one tank of gas too). Anyway, we LOVE the water, and since it was Monday when we went, a good deal of the beach was open to ourselves. The water is clear and blueish-green. It is cold at first, but once you get swimming, it is perfect. We brought an umbrella and a lot of drinks, and had a blast. More pictures HERE. 

 

SLC Chalk Festival

Even though we are in the process of getting everything together for the move, Kuei and the boys still made it over to the Chalk Festival. Nearly every year we’ve lived downtown, the Gateway has put it on, and Brighton likes to go. The street is sectioned off for foot-traffic only, and there is space where kids can grab a bucket of chalk and doodle all over. There is a lot of great artwork to check out too. Brighton got his face painted…pretty slick, eh? More pictures on Flickr HERE. 

  

Zoo

Kuei snapped some good pics of a trip to Hogle Zoo last week (thanks Todd and Julie!) Brighton had a good time with his pal, Chase.  They have been buddies a long time and had fun together (getting sprayed by a metal elephant, playing with street performers, and eyeing leopards mostly). Fun stuff.
