Our anniversary tradition is so much fun! This year we stayed in a Bed and Breakfast right by Bear Lake and went to the Brigham City, Utah temple.
In more detail, we dropped the girls off at Grandma Bleak's house in Bountiful around 1:00 p.m. Friday and drove to the north shore of Bear Lake. When we got there around 4:30 the wind was pretty bad. The people that rent the wave runners out said that we could just go out for a bit if the wind was too bad. Well, it was too much for me. We went out for maybe 20-30 minutes and brought it back in. Luckily we got a lot of our money back. Swimming in the warm waves, however, was SUPER fun! We swam for a while until Cade was too hungry :). We ate burgers and fries and then checked into our bed and breakfast. This Bluebird Inn was SOOOO cute. The landscaping was beautiful and the place so quaint and cute. After we checked in we drove downtown to scooter around and get raspberry shakes. We had fun scootering and caught the tail end of the concert and boutiques. Then we went back to the bed and breakfast to try out the hot tub (which was a little sketchy so we didn't stay in long!). Breakfast the next morning was super yummy and we ate with strangers from out of town and enjoyed random conversation. Then we packed up and before we drove to the Brigham City Temple, we dropped by Sis. Maynes home to say hi. She was one of the senior sister missionaries I got super close to in Nauvoo when I served there. She showed us her beautiful homes that she rents out and actually offered for us to plan our families vacation next year in one of her homes! Then we drove to the temple and enjoyed a session and sealings together. It was a very small but beautiful temple. Then we ended by saying hi to the Stephenson family from Cade's mission and drove back to Bountiful to pick up the girls. It was such a fun anniversary! Pretty soon we'll run out of Utah temples and will need to branch out but for now we still have I think 5 Utah and a few Arizona temples we can do while we still have small children at home.
