Day ZERO Part 2 (Europe & Going)

The old phrase of time flying when you're having fun never fades.
Bear Lake seemed to run by in a blink of an eye. 
The first day we hiked and injured ourselves, but things turned out well.
Once we got to the lake it was so beautiful. 
For a lake the turquoise water was beyond clear.

We first just hung out on the beach.
Walking out into the water, you wouldn't expect it, 
but you would go on forever before actually getting waist deep!
That was the real beauty of it though. 
Tides would roll in softly
Being in the water it was nice to just relax 
and let the waves float you away

After our relaxing moments in bliss the weather took a turn.
The rain poured on us during our dinner!
Knowing my family however, 
We created a canopy with a tarp over our campground.
It was really nice. We all sat close to the fire and bonded. 
I was happy to be with my family before our big trip. 

Once we got our boat... 
We let loose and became MaD hAttErS. 
Our "rented" speedboat tore up the tides!
To top that off we had to get a tube. 
Each of us took it on, and it was like riding a bull at a rodeo.
Especially when we hit those wakes!
Most of us only fell when the tube would flip, 
but we all abused it till we passed out. 

Once we got back we packed up and headed home.
Almost thought about making s'mores. 
Good thing we didn't.. 
Mother Nature wasn't done yet, 
she brought much more rain then the night before.
But luckily we were packed and on the road by then. 

That was our pre-trip
I couldn't imagine spending it with anyone else.
That was our vacation.
But in less than 12 hours we will be off.
Out of our comfort zones and into the wild.
My cousin and I will be putting in our best effort,
and take Europe by storm. 
This is our Journey, it won't be easy.
But with our strength, intellect, and potential... 
We'll make our marks & define ourselves. 

Here we go...
