Austin vs. Food

I've decided that it is not a good idea to write a post on 2 different days. I completely forgot about on of the funniest things of our day at the lake. The pictures were on my phone and not the camera, so I am going to blame it on that. After swimming we stopped and had a burger at La Beau's. What is a trip to Bear Lake with out stopping there, right? Jeremy ordered a La Beau's special for Austin even though I warned him that it was going to be huge. I was right it was gigantic and I thought there is no way my 5 year old is going to finish this. We had to cut it into 4 pieces so that he could even hold it. Watching my baby eat this burger was reminding me of when Jeremy watches episodes of "Man vs. Food". I kept thinking that there was no way he was going to finish it.

He came so close. Only had about 1/5 of the burger left. He even ate fries or I think he would have been able to do it.

I promise I was not starving my boy. We had snacks at the lake. I figured that he had eaten so many chips that he would not eat very much. Once again I was wrong. This little guy is growing like a weed and I guess he has to eat a lot to keep up with his growth spurt.

Not so boring

It's been quite busy for our family lately. I actually started this post on July 4th but had to stop because it was getting dark and Austin wanted us to do the fireworks that we bought. Anyway, we went to see Cars 2 the night after it came out. I had to have a picture of Austin in his 3D glasses he was so excited. Sorry the picture is so dark, I waited a little to long to take it and they had already turned out the lights. It was a cute movie and we had so much fun.

Jeremy's cousin Geno came with us to the movie and then we went out for dinner at the Black Pearl after. Jeremy loves this place because he can get his sushi and we can get our safety Chinese food. I'm not a big fan of fish, but I'm trying to get better. I got brave and tried the tuna. I'm not talking about a sushi roll with mostly rice and a tiny sliver of raw fish. This was just a chunk of raw fish. Jeremy put on plenty of wasabi (so I couldn't taste it) and I did it. I think I'll stick to my safety Chinese food that doesn't have a slimy texture.

Last Monday we had the day off of work and we decided to make the most of our day. I convinced Jeremy to go to Bear Lake. We have never taken Austin. I have wanted to wait until later on in the summer so it is warmer. Then life gets so crazy at the end of the summer that it never happens. I was not going to let this happen again.

I know he looks excited but I think he was really nervous. Swimming pools scared him a little bit and he get extremely clingy when swimming. I tried to tell him that it was going to be nothing like a swimming pool, but I don't think that he had any idea what I was talking about when I was trying to describe it.

He is in love

We spent the afternoon splashing around at the North Beach. It was pretty much the only place that had a beach(about 100 ft of it). The lake was so full and you had to walk for ever to get to water above your waist. It was perfect for Austin. Austin enjoyed collecting shells in the water and we built a sand castle.

This is how far we got before we got sick of castle building and went back to the water.

Godzilla destroying the castle

It was such a fun day. I hope to be able to go back soon.


This is a picture to show you how far out we had to walk to get to deeper water. I think that the water was at my waist here.

I'll try to get to pictures of our 4th of July weekend soon.
