Lake Hike, Shake Crawl, and Baptism

Bloomington Lake

One day of our vacation was spent hiking to Bloomington Lake.  On the way to the lake there were two small ponds that were just as beautiful.  The lake had a rope swing that I decided to not go off.  It looked freezing.  It was wonderful to get out and hike in the mountains.

Shake Crawl

Bear Lake is known for their "famous raspberry shakes."  There are at least four places that claim to have the best.  We decided to do a shake crawl to try a few and determine for ourselves the best shake.  We each got a different kind and did a taste test.  For me the best was the raspberry shake from Quick n' Tasty.  It was creamy and delicous.

Collin's Baptism

We were so lucky to have scheduled our vacation around the time of my nephew's baptism.  He turned eight in July and waited for us so we could be a part of his special day.  I was able to give a talk on baptism and Trent was a witness to the baptism.  My brother Eric did wonderful job with the baptism and I am so proud of Collin.  He is such a wonderful kid!
