bear lake & denver

We had our Beck Family Reunion in Bear Lake this year over the weekend of the 24th of July. It was so much fun to see all of the Becks. These family reunions are always so great, and I look forward to them each year.

We got to go to a giant cave and do some exploring. I believe we hiked 880 steps... I learned my pregnant  self doesn't have quite as good of balance, so I was clinging to Scott most the time. The cave was amazing! We were all on the look out for bats, but luckily we didn't see any.

My mom jumps at any chance of holding a baby. 

My Aunt Kassie organized some service projects as well that we did in our down time. Last September she gave birth to the cutest little boy ever, Crew, and he has down syndrome. So we made blankets, stuffed animals, hats, and little activity bags for kids who are in the hospital for long periods of time. It was a lot of fun to do all together. We also got to go to the funny play Juanito Bandito... it was hilarious, and we loved it!

We also got to spend time at the lake. There was a water trampoline, paddle boards, paddle boats, floaties, a canoe, and sand toys. The little ones were in heaven! I wish I would have taken more pictures! 

loving the water!

And if you go to Bear Lake... you have to get a raspberry shake!!

This past weekend I took a girls' trip with my mom, my baby sister KarLei and my Aunt Kristen. KarLei had a soccer tournament in Denver, so it was an 8 hour road trip. Such a beautiful drive. I was able to go because Scott was on a business trip in San Jose that same weekend.. so I didn't want to be alone! The trip consisted of eating and soccer, as do most of our trips, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I loved watching Karl play, it made me miss soccer so much. Her team ended up winning the tournament! Way cool... her team's third tournament in a row (including state cup)... I know I'm such a proud sister, she is just so stinkin' cute!
