The drive was gorgeous, as always, and seemingly endless...not in a bad way, but I did start to wonder if we had been caught in some sort of a time paradox. Trees are already starting to change color! Most of the oak and aspen stands are still green, but the wayward individual here and there was dancing around in the wind with bright red foliage.
Once we got here and figured out how to get the water and electricity on, priority #1 was getting raspberry shakes and fries and heading to the shore of the beach. We went to La Beau's, because Quick n' Tasty didn't sound as refined...no, only kidding, because that's the one Andrew remembered going to.
The dogs LOVED the shore! Lucy rolled in a dead thing. Linus peed on a bunch of plants. Andrew and I found a dry patch of sand to eat our shakes and fries, and the dogs ran in the lake.
We got to see a beautiful pink sunset, and headed back to town before it got dark. Our original choice for dinner was Lakeside Pizza (we are taking a vaca-keto-break, as one might tell), but they were mysteriously closed, so we opted for Bear Lake Pizza. Chicken Alfredo and supreme pizza! And lightly garlicked French bread! The internet may say it's Garden City's second best pizza, but it TOTALLY hit the spot.
We also picked up s'mores supplies, and got the fire lit up when we got back to the cabin (sorry Sue!) I am obliged to highlight how careful we were, though- such a very small fire, just one log at a time! And the marshmallows were SO yummy. Oh god, where have they been these past two low carb years? (Though truly, we are being so fire- safe, I promise, even this one log we have in the fire is keeping only the tiniest of flames!)
Time for board games! I CREAMED Andrew in Carcassone, and then he absolutely crushed me in Dominion. Very equitable, ultimately ;)
We remembered the uke as well, so plenty of music is happening, in between breaks to look at the stars, since it's so dark up here.
I personally really needed this break, what a relief to be able to run up here even just for a night... back to ukulele and singing :)
How did you get Linus in the water?
