It’s about 8:30am on Monday Morning and we are finally loaded, fueled (both gas and breakfast) and on the highway headed to California. It is about 100 degrees in Las Vegas and the idea of temperatures in the 80’s is a wonderful notion. Getting away from the busyness of normal life, work, and other responsibilities and heading to a small mountain town, to enjoy hiking, playing in the lake and all the “touristy” things that are available in Big Bear City makes me smile and think how lucky we are to have this chance to get away and just enjoy being a family.
We arrived in Big Bear at about 1pm and had a few hours to burn before we could check in to the cabin so we found the Alpine Slides. The kids had a blast seeing who could get to the bottom the fastest and Dad even flipped over once. Check out the fun we had:
After we got settled at the cabin, we changed into our suits and headed to the lake for some water play time. They boys (all four of them) had a blast and played in the water and on the beach for a couple of hours. They did some snorkeling, diving off the dock, built sand castles, and just had a great time. Here are a few of the pictures we got:
They played and jumped and swam and threw each other into the water and even played with the seaweed. Dad even brought Mom a present, much like a cat brings to the doorstep of their master. Mine was green, slimy, wet, long and just plain yuck!! Seaweed balls are definitely not my favorite thing! Check back daily for our vacation updates and you can share in some of the fun we are having. Enjoy!!
OH! You all look like you are having SO much fun! Now we REALLY wish we lived closer to you all. Have fun. Looking forward to seeing the next round of pictures.
