The Allen family reunion (Pehrson's mom's side of the family) was up in Bear Lake this year and it was so much fun. I had never been there before but have heard so much about it. One word to describe this place: BEAUTIFUL! The blue water, the green grass, the mountains with the snow caps...it was picture perfect.
And it was great to get away from LA for a week and spend some time with this boy.
We stayed right on the lake at Ideal Beach Resort which turned out to be a great place for all ages. They had a park. Here is Pehrson (the oldest cousin) spinning his cousins till they got sick.

There was a pool
A big lake (obviously) where we could kayak
Jet ski
Boat
and wakeboard...i didn't get a picture. but we went AND it was COLD! we wore our wetsuits in the water. ha
Bear Lake is famous for their raspberry shakes and they did not disappoint. I got two. (get one if you ever go there) The town is small and there were so many cool buildings and farm lands I could've taken pictures all day long...which I sort of did.
And whats a family reunion without matching shirts. We decided to tye-dye this year. Always a hit!
And we took some family pics
the Hawkley family (minus Ryan)
the Allen siblings
The whole gang...such a great group!
I was a little worried about how Beck would do with all these people being passed from person to person, but he did great! And he also did surprisingly well traveling, pretty much just slept the whole time on the plane, it was wonderful. Can't wait for the next reunion in two years, by then Pehrson will be a dentist and Beck will be 2 1/2. Crazy! Thanks everyone for a great trip. Love you all!

So fun Kate! Bear Lake looks so pretty. Glad that y'all are doing great! Beck is a mini-you. Can't believe how big he is getting.
These are awesome pics of the families. What a great heritage little Beck has. I love the wave runner photo. Whomever too it did a nice job with the tree and rocks on the right side and the beautiful lake scenery. Love the tie dye family pic...and well, all of the pictures! Fun times!
Sorry...I have to mention the adorable photo of Great Grandpa Allen on the swing with Beck. Priceless!
Hey Kate, I don't comment much but I'm a faithful reader! Your fam is too cute.
I love Bear Lake. My family had some reunions there when I was a kid so I have fond memories from then. Also, one of my best friends from college (who you might know? not sure, I know she knows Pehrson and I think you know her too) Chelse (Matthews) Shaum is from Bear Lake so I went out a few times in college. It is SO gorgous! Glad you got to go and enjoy it!
You look SO great and happy!
