Bear Lake

 It is really nice that we have this tradition- this summer anchor- of going to Bear Lake.

Ben was not planning on going. After the trip home from Myrtle Beach, he was DONE with traveling and just wanted to sleep in his own bed. Plus, he had a major deadline due August 4th. If it doesn't get done, people may lose their jobs. So the plan was for him to stay home, and I was totally fine with that. I gave him no pressure to come to Bear Lake,

But, in the end, he figured out how he could work in the car (which almost worked perfectly except he lost an hour because he had the caps lock on so his password wouldn't work), and he worked all day while we were at the beach on Thursday. He actually got a lot done. 

Here's combined pictures of our two days at the beach.
