Final outing before back to school

Cindy will start school on Thursday the 15th so we decided to have one last little outing. We decided to go to Bear Lake. We went up Monday afternoon and got a camp site at the Sunrise campground. There were not many people there as the camp had no water. Luckily we had water in the tent trailer. I had got it working again since it had gone out on us the last day in Yellowstone. While we were having dinner a deer wandered by and did not seem bothered by us at the least.


We then went down to the Pickelville Playhouse to watch "Who Shot Juanito Bandito". It was funny and had us laughing all night.



After the play the big full moon came up over the lake. They called it the super moon because it was the closest to the earth this time in its orbit and was supposed to be 10% brighter than other full moons. I sat at our campground just enjoying the way the moon lit up the area and tried my luck at a night shot of how the aspens shined in the moon light.




The next morning I took this picture of the same view that I took the evening before but now in sunlight.



We walked over to the edge of the campground and looked at the lake. The sun created a hazy light on the seed pods of the mountain mahogany which I tried to capture with this photo.
















Shannon and her kids and Maddie arrived by 11. Out came the bikes and Connor and Payton had to show us how they can ride without training wheels.
















We then went down to the lake to play. The tubes were a big hit and  Conner loved the big tube because he could get in it and not get wet.
















We then rented some skidoos and had fun riding out in the lake.



It was then back to the beach to lay around and make some sand turtles.
















It was then time to pack up, get shakes then head back home. The summer trips have come to an end and it is back to school.
