BEAR LAKE 2008

Make a Smilebox slideshow

So, we just got back from Bear Lake last night and we had a BLAST! We had been there since last Tuesday, but I still wasn't ready to come home (well, really I just didn't want to come back to work...) But we are back to reality now. Thanks to Trent and Lindsie's camera (yes, I left ours at the trailer EVERY day) I got some pictures of the kids and the fun time we had.----------So who would have known that BOTH of my boys would have a "severe local reaction" to bee stings. They have both been stung in the past without having reactions, so we didn't know what was happening to them. Bridger got the first one on his arm the Sunday before we left, but by Monday evening his arm was HUGE with water blisters and open sores all over. I took a picture that my mom text me (he went up early with my parents) to our pediatrician and he said that it had staff infection. This picture doesn't even do it justice, as it looks SO much better here. After it had started to heal, he decided to throw rocks at some hives with Brock and Hayzen and got stung again!!! You think he'd learn! But, it didn't have such a reaction, just got really swollen.So, a couple hours after Bridger was stung for the second time we saw that Brock and Hayzen were still trying to destroy the hives, so we asked them AGAIN to leave them alone. Brock said, "We're tough enough and smart enough not to get stung." Hmmm... not more than five minutes later he came running to the trailer with his hand over his chin. He got stung too! His got really swollen but no sores or blisters, so we called him "Jay" for the rest of the trip. (The one side of his chin was so swollen that he looked like Jay Leno.) :)Besides the 'bee drama' we had a wonderful trip and I cannot believe another year of Bear Lake has come and gone. It still amazes me every time we go how beautiful the water is. I LOVE BEAR LAKE!!!
