On August 13, we packed the car and headed north, for one final get away before I was back in school, and what a nice getaway it was. We headed to Bear Lake with the Beazer posse for the weekend. We didn't have reservations, and were kind of winging it, but it turned out to be perfect.
We stopped off at USU, rented a canoe and headed towards the lake.
After a few hours of searching for a campsite, we went back up the hill, into a pull off, and found the PERFECT camping getaway. The trees surrounded us, the space was large, and the site was peaceful. 
We setup camp, made hotdogs, quickly got the kids ready for bed, and then just relaxed. We spent the evening talking and enjoying one anothers company until the wee hours of the night.
Saturday morning Dustin made breakfast and then we got ready. We headed down into Bear Lake for a day at the beach. There was some mass confusion and lack of communication due to cell phones being dead, but once we figured out where to meet up, we spent a few hours at the lake. It was gorgeous and the kids loved being in the water.
That night we went and had pizza. It was the biggest pizza I have ever seen, and we were not quite able to finish the whole thing. We enjoyed the company and had lots of laughs. Once the pizza was gone, I was pretty adamant about getting a Bear Lake raspberry shake. So, we headed over to get shakes and then headed up the hill.
The campfire was great and conversation enjoyable, but everyone was pretty worn out and one by one we all went down.
Sunday morning we coasted in with breakfast and cinnamon rolls. We slowly packed up and headed home. We played a mean game of 1970-current walky-talky trivia on the way down the hill then stopped off at Angies for dinner. We swung by the Beazer's to drop off the canoe then headed home.
It was the perfect way to end an AMAZING summer!
