Raspberry Days

This last weekend was Raspberry Days up in Bear Lake. It is a family tardition that we all go up there for the weekend. For as long as I can remember we have been going up as a family. We have a lot of fun with all the different activities that we do. The thing that I think the grandkids love the most is being in the parade. This years theme was clebrating Raspberry Days 25th birthday. So we did the 25 fav. things of Raspberry Days. All the family dressed up in different activities clothing. My camera's card gotr full about half way through the parade so I did not get all the pictures I would have like to have gotten. I was dressed up as a fisherman and little A. was a beach bum.
We had so much fun passing out candy and neckless. We even had two people being pulled behind the boat on skateboards. If you do not recognize them they are my sister J boyfriends som and his friend.
When we got back to the house uncle R and cousin R were helping little A play soccer. He was kicking the ball all by himself. He was laughing so hard.
That night we celebrated my dad's birthday. We always celebrate it up there because the whole family is there. The next day we went to the craft fair because the weather was cold. My dad tried on the new type of wigs. It is crazy hair coming out of a visor. My DH bought Root Beer in this cool bottle but at the same time is looked like a real beer bottle so I made him let me take a pictue as you can see he is training his son at a young age. The kids get to come to the fair and pick one thing and play in the jump house.
On saturday we went to the beach because the weather was better. The kids love the water. We have tubs that we pull behind the boat. I was suprized but Little A. wanted nothing to do with the sand so he sat on a blanket or on someones lap. He also enjoyed sitting in his float tub while playing with his toys. The day before we went to the pool and he swam but I forgot my camera. I love the beach I could lay in the sun all day. The kids always build sand villages it is no longer just a castel.
On saturday morning some of the family ran in the 5K. Last year cousin R ran the race and it was the first race that he had ever ran and he was sick and tired all day this year he wore the same shoes and now has retired them. This year the race did not effect him.
The pictures below so the order that they finished. Jodi's boyfriend ran and it was the frist race he had ever ran. Uncle S. his only goal was to not let cousin R bet him.We had a great time. We hate the end of Reapberry Days because it means that summer is almost over.
