BEAR LAKE WITH DOUG AND HIS FAMILY

Dear Family,

This is one of our trips toBear  Lake this summer,  We joined Doug's family around the 24th of July.

Here is a picture of all on the couches with feet up on the little bear footstools watching another episode of Mr. Bean.  There is Doug, Nate, Izzie, Tom Tom, Rebecca, Catherine and Ellen.  Spence was down the street at scout camp.

There were beach activities, four wheeling and trips with therock climber, The Induna.  Doug is a great explorer especially when running all over St, Charles.

Doug also hosted the ward scouts and leaders at the farm.  We left before that one but Doug puts on a great meal for all scouts and leaders.  He does ribs in dutch ovens and here he is seasoning 144 ribs for the scouts.  The scouts came over for an afternoon of fun, games and good eats.

We managed to do some shooting in the backyard and during this event, Doug noticed a large animal on the roof of one of the sheds.  This was 150 yards off and Doug bagged this with an offhand shot with the 17 HMR.  This was a huge woodchuck even bigger than the ones we had in Michigan.  Good shot Doug.

We headed back to Salt Lake for Doctors appointments and other family members traveling through.

We had  a fun time with Doug and his family.

Love to all,

Mom and Dad
