Bear Lake would nearly be a perfect vacation spot if it wasn't for the Bear Lake Monster. Some people believe this monster is a myth, including myself . . . until last week. I finally discovered the origin. I think there are actually SEVERAL monsters and not just ONE. One of the most well-known monsters is the one parents use as a way to get their children to finally come out of the water. "We'd better get out of the water before the Bear Lake Monster finds us." Anya wasn't really too scared of this threat.
Another monster is the one little kids turn into after staying out in the sun too long, missing too much sleep, and eating too many Doritos and licorice. (No picture of this monster, it's too scary to post.)
And of course, there are the sand-eating kind of monsters--these aren't really too threatening and can actually be quite pleasant.
Despite the dangers these monsters hold, we LOVE Bear Lake. Hopefully we can come back again next summer!
