Bear Lake Vaca

A few of us lucky Pollan's headed up to Bear Lake with our good friends the West's. Byron and Carter stayed behind because Carter was sick and Byron had to work. Bummer for them. We had a great time staying at the Ideal Beach Resort and seeing the funniest play, Juanito Bandito, at the local playhouse. Highly recommend the playhouse. I walked about twenty miles around the sidewalks and jogging along the highway and the farm roads. It was a great weekend.
Anytime I asked the kids if they wanted to go for a walk they all said yes. They would grab their scooters and ride around and round their big mile long sidewalk/grassy area.
Hanging out at the lighthouse. Not sure why they have a lighthouse nowhere near the water but hey I guess in Utah you put in a lighthouse wherever you want. We had fun walking around it. Not open to the public. 
Funniest play ever, hands down. We want to go up and see it again it was so funny. Ethan, Tyler, Jaggar, Emily and Ally waiting for our show to start.
Tyler posing on the stage. He may be heading to Hollywood soon.
Haystack fun with Jaggar and Ethan.
Ty is in his zen while the world is whirling around him. The park at the beach was pretty sweet. The kids had fun playing on the giant swings.
Chicken in the pool. Glad it was heated well because the air was not quite warm yet.
We found a stray tractor to pose with.
The dock. Lots of fish to see under this guy.
Jaggar and TY...buds since preschool days.
Paddle boarding was fun-for those brave enough to gate the cold waters of Bear Lake.
Beautiful Ally
Jaggar broke his golf club while playing mini golf. I caught Ally's reaction perfectly. Luckily they just gave him a new one and let him keep playing. The kids spend many hours on the mini golf course. It was just right outside out condo.
We had such a great time relaxing, watching movies, playing flies up, walking, sitting in the sun, swimming, eating but mostly just enjoying our time off of school and work. Thanks for inviting us Marylyn and Jeremy. Awesome vacation!
The highlight for me....Best owl sighting ever at Bear Lake. We saw two juvenile Great Horned Owls. It was amazing. These guys were hanging out in the tree near the pool house. We came out and saw one fly across the lawn. Then it perched in the tree for quite a while. I had time to race back to the condo and get my good camera. I am so pleased with the photos I got of this cutie. By the time we spotted the second owl it was too dark for good photos but amazing owl encounter. I am so pleased.
