This was the week of the Tiller Family Camping Trip. (The Tillers are Melissa side of the family.) Almost every year they go to Bear Lake. They have two boats and the rent Jet Ski. This year was Jackson first year to go to Bear Lake. We left Thursday morning it takes about two and a half hours to get there. We get there thru Evanston and we usually stop there to stretch our legs. We stop at McDonalds to get a little something to eat. It was a very high tech Micy D's. They have TVs everywhere. There was even a TV in the bathroom right where the urinal was. That to me has to be a guys dream to have TVs everywhere.

When we finally got there, Melissa had to run out to the beach as soon as possible. Bear Lake is Melissa favorite place to go besides Disneyland. We got in our swimming suits and went to the beach where we went and played in the water. Matt came with us and I was so surprised how much he was liking the water. He was just like a duck in water which is weird because Matt and I don,t know how to swim. We stayed at a motel near the beach because we didn't want to camp out with Jacky Boy, not this year anyways



The next day we got to go on a boat ride and some of us rode the water banana. It was a lot of fun. I didn't ride the banana because I had a panic attack two years ago at bear lake were in the lake I started freakin out. It had a lot to do with because I can't swim and my mom has put the fear of water into me and my siblings head for the past ever since we were born. I trying to over come this fear so that I can really enjoy the water. So I tried to get on the water banana this year and I was on it for about a minute before I started to freaking out. So there is always hope for next year. We are going to start Jackson early with water sports and water fun so that he will learn how to swim and enjoy playing and being in the water, so as for our first step to exposing Jackson to water. We put his little feet in the water, and we kind of got his little bummy too. Here is a video of the event. Isn't he so cute.




Saturday was our lazy day. We didn't get up til ten. We hurried a pack all our stuff and I suggest that we should go see this cave that was pretty close by. We went to Minnetonka cave. I had been there several years ago with my scout group but that was like forever ago. We really had a fun time. I held Jackson all the way down and other people took turns carrying him back up. There was so many steps in that cave, but I think that it was sure worth it.



Well enough for now. Here are just some random pictures and video hope you enjoy. Bye - Justin






PS - These are pictures of my Brother-in-law Mikey. He is a very funny kid. He kept telling us that he wanted us to take a picture of his bod and his really ripped abs. So that is why there is the picture of the bottle. There was going to be a picture of him with his shirt of flexing his muscles but he wouldn't let me put it up.
