Big Bear

Every year we go up to Big Bear Lake during the summer with my family for vacation. We had a wonderful time again and Ethan and Alex loved the fun with their Nana, aunties, and uncle Dana. We missed uncle Shane this year who is stationed away with the Navy. I always look forward to the beautiful scenery...fresh air, tall trees, and the lake which always feels so amazing on a warm summer day. It is so fun just having hang out time with family, doing fun activities, cooking delicious food, and just relaxing. The weather was about 80 degrees all week and I never saw a single cloud in the sky. Speaking of the sky...it was the most beautiful shade of blue and at night the stars were so vibrant. I forget what a star filled sky is supposed to look like, sad. Some of our adventures this trip included checking out the Lake History building below then going for a hike, riding waverunners, pontoon boating, lots of swimming (lake and pool), biking, cooking and eating, basketball, tennis, video games, movies, and naps. We all came back feeling refreshed and tan while uncle Dana came back with a large laceration on his leg from biking. He is on the road to recovery now after stitches and lots of antibiotics. I hope the bike journey was worth it. All in all we had a great time and can't wait for next summer!This encounter gave meaning to the name Big Bear Lake.
We went for a beautiful hike with Uncle Dana. Here are the boys.

Enjoying the BBQ rib meal that my mom makes and my family looks so forward to eating every year. Pure yumminess after 4-5 hours of slow cooking in the oven then a quick grill.
On this day we spent the afternoon on a pontoon boat swimming in the lake, laying out, and having a picnic.
He was so happy to drive with his daddy.
Cool little man in his shades.

Had to include a pic of her in her swim suite and cover up given to her by Nana Snyder.We had so much fun swimming every day in this pool and sometimes even twice a day. This was Alexa's first time in the pool and she loved it. She couldn't stop kicking her little legs.
