It was hot outside Saturday, so what did we do? We went to Bear Lake, of course! We can't stay away. It's one of our favorite places to be - and it only takes us about 45 minutes to get there. Gotta love that!
For this jaunt we went around to the south-ish side of the lake where the sandy beaches are still hidden under last year's very wet winter and spring.
It cracks me up how when then kids see water they must immediately search for rocks to throw in said water. I can remember being that way as a kid. It's irresistible!
It didn't matter that the water was really cool. Hudson and Libby had to get in it anyway. Hudson was walking around in there up to his chest. Ethan, Maria, and I could barely stand to put our toes in there. Lincoln would have none of it.
I'm so proud of this guy. He's just finished his MBA. What a happy thing! It's such a burden to go to school and work full time, and be a dad and husband full time. He's done such a great job balancing everything. Now, if only we could find him a job! School is beginning to seem like the easy part compared with job hunting.
As per the norm, Lincoln refused to go in the water, or touch the sand with his bare skin. After throwing rocks for a while he parked himself on a towel and proceeded to hand me rocks, directing me to throw them in the water.
It was a gorgeous day and we were practically the only ones there. We had a great time. It was a much needed break after the last few weeks of school.
So now we are in that horrible place to find oneself: limbo. We're trying to figure out where we need to be, what's best for our family, how to get to that place, all the while trying not to think too much about the student loans we'll need to tackle looming in our not too distant future.
We've been giving these questions a lot of thought and a lot of prayer, trying to listen to any bit of inspiration the Lord is willing to throw our way.
As we figure these things out, we'll keep you updated. I think there's a big change in store for us.
