Mary is our most prolific artist in the family. She churned out the below pictures while in Bear lake. Since we said goodby to Bear Lake today, I’ll start with her picture of the Bear Lake beach.
Aside from reading 3 or so books on the trip (Lemony Snicket Books), Lydia also got involved with artwork. She did a fun game where she folds up a piece of paper, and then each person draws a piece of a monster without seeing what any of the other pieces look like. It was a lot of fun!
The kids watched TV while we packed up and got everything ready to go. Also, while we packed, Clarissa pretended to be an owl, and other kids played along. Here is a video.
Once we were all packed, we drove home, enjoying music from Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys and other artists. We also listened to a “How to Train Your Dragon” book, which is by far my favorite children’s audio series.
Back at home the kids were adorably playing dress-up
We were so glad Swathi and Clark decided to come back to our place for two extra nights when their son Soren asked them to. It was so nice to spend more time together!
For dinner, Swathi made amazing grain bowls for everyone. They were sooooo gooood!!!
