Big Bear Vacation 2012

 We missed our trip to the mountains
last year so we were very excited to
go again this year.  The boys love the
mountains.

 It has been hot lately so there wasn't
much snow.   Luckily right behind our
cabin was a small patch of snow that
hadn't melted yet. But is was so icy
that Luke fell the first night and scraped
his face.

 The boys were outside immediately.

 They even found a snow man that
hadn't melted yet.

 Keith and Jessica came up
a little later on Wed night
and the kids were so excited
to have their cousins stay
with us all week.

On Thursday we took a walk
to the lake.

 The scenery was gorgeous!

I love seeing the water with

snowy mountains in the

background.

 Luke was tired and kept

asking Tommy and me to

carry him.  How can you

say no to that face?

 we even found a little snow

on our walk.

 The boys had to put their feet

in the freezing water.

 Family

 At our place, the kids played
with weeples.

 We ate a ton of food and of
course ice cream.

 We stopped at the Discovery

Center.

 On Friday we went and found

a place to tube.  There wasn't much,

but we were determined!

 They went down however they

could because it was so

slippery.

 This picture cracks me up

because if you look closely

there are 3 people on the tube

even though you only see

2!

We played some tennis on

Saturday.  I should say we

"attempted" to play.

 It was a fun and relaxing

weekend with the family.

We played lot of board

games, enjoyed the outdoors,

ate too much food and

watched some movies.

 We made memories that we

won't forget.  Life can get

really busy sometimes so

I savor those moments away

from our hectic schedule.
