On Memorial Day, it was snowy/rainy so we had a BBQ inside with Spencer's family and played intense games like this:
By July 4th, I thought the weather would be better. It was, so we went to Bear Lake. I wanted to show Spencer Bloomington Lake where I visited most summers of my childhood. It is a beautiful hike to a beautiful lake where you can swing off an awesome rope swing into water so freezing that your brain goes numb and you almost forget how to swim. Who wouldn't want to try that?
It's supposed to look like this:
But due to the consistent cold and snowy weather this winter and spring, it looked like this:
We hiked for a mile in swimsuits in at least 3 feet of snow on what we thought was the trail. But then we found the trail head so we gave up. No rope swing this year.
We went back to Bear Lake, rented beach cruisers, and got raspberry shakes instead.
Then we went to West Point for a BBQ and fireworks with Spencer's family.
And that is how we do summer in Utah.
Wow! It's never looked like that when I've driven through it during the summer. Funny, Montana is snowed in too and we're definitely changing up some of our plans.
ReplyDeleteIs there really snow every where at bear lake. The Goit family reunion was just there last year! Craziness. I loved that place it wad so cute and was the best place to take pictures!
ReplyDeleteNo, there isn't snow at Bear Lake. We went up a canyon by bear lake when we found the snow. But last year, it wasn't like that!
