Bear Lake Family Reunion: Day 3 - Boating

Friday, June 21, 2023

It was boat day, but storms were in the forecast. We decided to go ahead with the boating plans anyway, since forecasts aren’t always correct. Erik took the first group consisting of almost all of the guys plus Makayla.


The boys played a quiet game of chess in the morning

The girls took awhile to get ready for the boat ride. Aaliyah had to wash her swimsuit. Luckily, this cabin had a rather large laundry room

The rest of us girls left about an hour later. I’m glad we left when we did! Lisa drove us all in her car to Rendezvous Beach, about 20 minutes away. We had barely enough seats. We signed our names at the office and put on our life vests. Erik helped bring the boat close to shore so that we could get on easily without wading too deeply through the water. The water and air were absolutely freezing cold! I had changed into shorts because I was told we’d be wading through water, but, thankfully, I wore a jacket and brought my blanket! We were able to spend about a half hour on the boat. We all took turns driving the boat. Well most of us. I had no interest, so I didn’t.

Making sure we didn't have to pay for any preexisting markings


Despite the low temperature of the water, Bryce decided to get on the tube. I thought he was crazy, but hey, at least someone got to use the tube. Elisa was wanting to go next, but just as Bryce got back in the boat we heard a thunder and saw some ominous clouds. We turned the boat around and headed back to the beach. We got rained on as we ran to our cars.

I was cold enough just sitting there, I don't know how Bryce got in that water.


After returning the boat, we decided to get some lunch at LaBeau's Too. Everyone really enjoyed their burgers, fries, and shakes. The weather still didn't look good. Most of us went back to the cabin to warm up while Erik, Bryce, and Makayla went back to the boat to get all of our stuff.



Yum! Actually, I do not think their burgers are that great, but the shakes are good!

Warming up and chilling out
