Big Bear Adventure

The minute the school bell rang me and the kiddos packed up the trunk of the car and headed up to Big Bear Mountain for a long weekend!

The Lake was half way frozen and so were their toes!

But they didn't care. It was great having a cabin cause the kids would play in the snow get super cold and then come inside for hot chocolate or soup and then go right back out again! I managed to pull them away from snow angels and snow ball fights for a trip into town.

We walked around the village and window shopped. But as always a trip to a cupcake shop was the highlight of my day!

Then it was back to the snow. It was falling as we went out for a walk around the snow covered block

Can't even see our feet!

I'm glad the kids run at a higher temperature cause they stayed out there longer than I could.

I was able to play with them for 20-30 minutes at a time before I had to run inside and thaw out...

It was great when I could convince them to come inside and watch a movie or two with me. I felt like it was the best family time we've spend it a while...

It snowed again the second night and the kids loved waking up to fresh snow that they could trample in!

Our last day there was cut a little short because of more snow! I was afraid to get stuck up there.

So we packed it all in after a few hours in the snow...

made some lunch and then headed home...

The drive home was a little scary and a bit slippery but we made it down, slow and steady! Thinking this is going to be a tradition from now on!!!
