WORST: We still slept in a tent on the lawn outside.
2. BEST: We seen lots of family.
WORST: There were grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, moms, dads, siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, etc. all trying to play games, visit, watch movies (all going on at the same time), etc., in a 1200 sq. ft. cabin with 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bath....CROWDED and SQUISHY!
3. BEST: There was lots of food and goodies!
WORST: There was TOO much food and goodies.
4. BEST: We were able to do a lot of other things while down in that area.
WORST: We drove a lot. (Drove straight to Logan, spent the night. Drove to Bear Lake, then to Soda and spent the night. Drove to Pocatello for baby Kenadee's blessing, then back to Soda, then back to Bear Lake, spent the night. Drove back to Soda, spent the night, then back to Boise...exhausting!..and expensive...3.89 gallon x 27 miles per gallon = EXPENSIVE!)
5. BEST: Maycie got to play with all her cousins from both sides of the family.
WORST: She picked up a few habits and learned things she didn't know (and I liked it that way).
6. WORST: We didn't sleep much and my kids got WAY off their schedule.
BEST: My kids went to bed at 7 p.m. last night, woke up at 9 am. Plus, they took a 3+ hour nap today!
7. BEST: Maycie got to play in the water...Brrrr! We walked down to the water for something to do. Maycie wanted to put her feet in...WARNING...it always starts with the feet. Then we look over and she has her pants off. A few minutes later, she screams because she tripped, fell face down, and well....went swimming!
WORST: She is now sick with a fever and cough! Stupid parents...they should get written up for that! Well, they are actually paying for it twice because Jax is now getting sick as well.
8. BEST: One night, all four of us slept together while cuddling...or rather lied together on the same mattress in the same sleeping bag, listening to the rain and dodging the drips from hitting our heads! Maycie started out in the cabin and Jax started out in a play pen next to our bed in the tent. Con and I started out snuggling...then as the night went on...children came between.
WORST: We have all officially defrosted!
9. BEST: We made lots of memories...hence...Memorial Day weekend.
WORST: Some of those memories we wish weren't memories!
10. BEST: Con had a 5 day weekend, with 2 paid days off and 1 holiday pay.
WORST: There is nothing BAD about that!
BONUS
WORST: I took zero pictures at Bear Lake over the weekend.
BEST: I have nothing to remember those unwanted memories!

I'm sorry the weather was so bad for you guys. I was hoping for at least a little bit of sunshine for you while you were there. I sounds like you spent some good, quality time as a family and with your extended family. We will have to get together next week once your little ones get feeling better (sorry they're sick, NO FUN!) Tayson is dieing to see and play with Maycie and Jaxon.
What bad habits did she learn from my kids????
I need to know what you guys are planning for the 4th of July. My inlaws have the cabin that whole week and need to know if we can attend or if we need to try and change the date. So, what days do you think you'll be here so we can be with you?
How fun. The water was great not to cold and not to hot. We had a great time. Sounds like you had a little of both. Give Maycie Jo loves hope she feels better.
YOu had quite the weekend!! I am sure you are glad to be home! Nothing like a trip to help you realize how much you love being home!! :)
You are so funny! I love this post. Cute!
Sounds like a fun and eventful trip! Vacations are fun, but isn't it so nice to be home?
I am glad that you guys got a little time to come and hang out in soda. We don't get to see you guys that much. I hope macady wasn't too much of an influence on Maycie. Thanks for taking some pics for me. Can't wait to see them. The game you taught us was a blast, even though i really stink at it. TTYL Becka
