Camping at Bear Lake

I can honestly agree with the people who say that nothing brings your family closer together than camping. We had a wonderful time doing just that at beautiful Bear Lake. It's my most favorite place to go in Utah--a tropical oasis with its clear blue waters. We went with Ryan's parents and a few of his siblings and their families. We had an awesome campsite just off the beach. We goofed off and had some fun times that will not soon be forgotten. There's nothing better than sitting around a campfire with the ones you love. There's something very humbling about kneeling in family prayer on the ground in a tent. I love what camping does for our family, in that it helps us appreciate all the good things we have, all the comforts we enjoy daily here in our home. It teaches our children how to make do and toughen up a little bit when things aren't exactly ideal. For me, I feel closest to God when I'm out in nature, enjoying the beauty that He has created for me. He loves us so much. It's obvious if we just take the time to look around.
