Weekend @ Gary's Bear Lake house!

Last weekend a group of us headed up to Garrett's Bear Lake house. Even though the weather forecast wasn't great we figured it would be fun being up there anyway! And we were right! Friday, Dave and I headed up. We got his boat to bring back down... and hung out at his Grandpa's condo for a bit, until the rest of our group got up there. We met up with everyone later and followed them to Gary's house. It was pretty late so we hung out for a bit and called it a night. On Saturday we took Gary's boat out. At this point it was really cold!!! We pretty much hung out on the boat... all the boys were daring enough to jump in the water, but it was so cold, as soon as they were in they were out. We finally made our way back in and went back to Dave's Grandpa's condo to hot tub and swim at the pool. The sun finally came out and it turned out to be a great day! We played catch, fly's up, and who knows what else on the vast lawn! We got yummy shakes at La Bou's (is that how you spell it???) and then took the boat out again! This time... with the sun out it was a bit warmer! So Dave, Jessie, and myself put on our wet suits and actually got in to wakeboard and/or ski!! It really was way fun. The highlight of the trip was definitely after we got done boating. Gary's house is right on the lake so they have 4-wheelers to take everyone from the beach back to the house. We had left one 4-wheeler down there and had to go get it as soon as we had the boat back in the garage. So Dustee, Jessie, and I drove a 4-wheeler down. Upon getting there, we couldn't find the second 4-wheelers key!! So Jessie and I hung out while Dustee drove back to the house to see if someone had it. She brought Dave back with her and of course, the key was right there the whole time. So Jessie and I hopped on to take it back! Well, I was driving and figured we should play on the 4-wheeler a bit. So Jessie and I were cruisin' around... there were some small puddles here and there and Jessie kept screaming... "Drive through that puddle! Drive through that one!" So I did... and it was great fun. We finally turned around to head back and there was ONE more puddle that had to be driven through. As we drove into this puddle I realized... This is like 4 ft. deep!!!!! So I turned the 4-wheeler but it was too late!! We were stuck in this POND!!! So we got off and Jessie pulled while I pushed in water up to my knees! Yeah... it didn't work. So finally Garrett and Dustee came down with a 4-wheeler to help us out. They pulled us out and we were good to go! We got back on, this time Jessie driving, and made our way... RIGHT BACK INTO THE POND!!!! Jessie put the 4-wheeler in reverse instead of drive!! So of course, instead of pulling forward, when she hit the gas, we went backwards! What's great is she didn't do this quickly. We had enough time for me to yell... "Jessie! Jessie! We're going back!" But for some reason she is slow... and didn't respond quickly enough. Well, we sure did get a good laugh out of it! So once again, Garrett pulled us out and this time Jessie actually drove forward!!! I thought we'd head up to the house, but Jessie hadn't had enough fun yet, so we continued to plow through puddles. Garrett and Dustee made their way back, and Jessie finally decided we should go back, she didn't think they would come save us again if we were to get stuck once more. But of course... we couldn't head back without the grand finale!!! Jessie drove us through one more puddle and it was HUGE!!! As we drove through this thing, water came up all around us, and DRENCHED us!!! As soon as we were out Jessie stopped and we laughed our heads off. It was hilarious. After our adventure we went to dinner... came back and watched a movie. Sunday we hung out a bit and headed home! What a fun weekend! :)
