Last weekend we were able to go on the annual Allred Spring Vacation. This year we took a break from driving down south and decided to try Bear Lake. I am definitely a fan!!!! We were there just 1 weekend before their big tourist season starts, so we practically had the place to ourselves. The beach was never crowded, we didn't have to wait in line to get raspberry shakes, and we didn't see any other 4-wheelers out on the trails. The weather was perfect, and the family time was great! I didn't take any pictures of the cabin we stayed in, but it was great! This is the first vacation where we have had a place big enough for the whole family to stay together. Usually we are split up in condos, which makes it hard to hang out as adults after the kids go to bed. This time we were able to stay up as late as we wanted playing games, watching movies in the theater room, and talking. The boys loved playing with their cousins, and Isaac especially loved playing with the huge train table they had there!
Here are a few pics.
Here's Sam playing at a park during Jes's work party we went to on our way to Bear Lake.
Isaac at the same park 
Digging in the sand at the beach. The water was freezing, but they had a great time!!!
Sam's still smiling even though he just fell in the cold water. Aren't the mountains and water beautiful? Oh yeah, and my baby boy too!!! 
Here's my niece Maja getting our cool kite in the air
Here's the kite flying high. It was shaped like a Macaw (parrot)
Here is the pool that Jes helped the kids build. They had a great time building and demolishing it. Isaac is in the back with the blue shirt. The other kids are my brother, Mark's kids. They're all so cute!
Our last day there my dad and my oldest brother decided it would be so fun to dress the same!!! Just kidding, it just so happened that they wore the exact same thing. Like father, like son....except when it comes to the choice in schools. Dave is definitely the black sheep in the family not only for attending BYU, but for wearing their hats!
What a great vacation!!! I love Bear Lake, it's just so beautiful there and peaceful. Thanks so much for mom and dad for putting it all together, and thanks so much to my awesome family. We all get along so well and really enjoy being together!!!
