Building Lilac Haven

Lilac Haven is a special place for our family. It has become a place where we make memories when we are together. It was built by our family, even the young kids had their part.  We all worked hard at making this dream become a reality. We had help from extended family and friends, to whom we are eternally grateful. Lilac Haven was a place to make memories long before it was built and we hope many more memories will be made in our home in the future.

Bloomington Lake

   If you are looking for a fun short hike, Bloomington Lake is one of our favorites. This glacial lake is only a 15 minute hike from the parking lot. There is one steep incline at the beginning, but the rest was pretty easy for my young kids. It is only an hour drive from Lilac Haven.

   Bloomington Canyon road wasn't too bad with the exception of a few rocky areas about a mile from the parking lot. We did pass a van that had hit it's oil pan :( So watch out for the rocks in the road.

After the Bloomington Lake turn off, be sure to stay to the right when the road forks. You will be able to see the rocky cliffs with snow, the lake is just below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 



This is a small lake that you will pass along the way to Bloomington Lake.

Our current project

The guys worked really hard last weekend getting sod down.

 Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can get the rest down soon.

 

Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge

Looking for something fun to do in the winter? One of our favorite Bear Lake  winter trips was to the Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge.  The kids loved seeing all the deer and even a bald eagle. We also found an excellent sledding hill in nearby Dingle.  Made for an awesome day!

We only have a few weeks still available for reservations for the summer of 2013. Click on  this link   to check if your preferred dates are still available. Hurry - before they are all gone!
