We always have a great time at the Leonard reunion every other year. We have enjoyed our time in Bear Lake so much this is the third time we have gone there. We were able to stay in a large cabin with most of Jer's family. We played at the beach a lot. It's always nice for the kids to reconnect with cousins, aunts, and uncles for this trip since we don't get to see them too often. We are all very different in his family but have fun being together. we are grateful to Linda and Phil for making family a priority and putting this together.
The first day we went to the beach for the day. We made french toast for everyone that morning with sausage. The next day we rented a boat for the first time. They boys tried wake boarding and did amazing. We couldn't believe how brave they were and how fast they caught on. Especially Cardon was determined to do it and made it look easy his first try! Prentice didn't want to try it this year but I bet she will next time. All the kids had fun tubing!
The kids slept in a triple bunk bed.
The boat actually over heated after lunch and they brought a wave runner to tow us back to shore. It took a while but was definitely an experience. The water got fairly choppy at this point so we tubed for a couple more hours before heading back. We always talk about maybe getting a boat so this was fun to see how it would be.
The next day Truman and Prentice went to the Minnetonka caves with Aunt Lisa and her family. We took the little boys on a razor ride with Grandpa and Grandma. We went to Ephriam's grave, a giant bear that used to roam that area. We ate lunch there and then headed home. Jer and I also did some exploring on the Razor in the evenings. It was beautiful with the flowers, trees, and cooler temps.
Truman and Prentice were able to take turns riding Grandpa's 4 wheeler. Maybe it would be fun to get them one! I think they get bored sometimes just riding in the back of the Razor, so I think they would have fun driving themselves.
