Big Bear Trip

We spent a few days in Big Bear last weekend. Michael has been wanting to learn how to snow board and Isis wanted to play in the snow. We drove up on Thursday afternoon and we were supposed to come home on Sunday. It decided to snow on Sunday and the driving conditions required snow chains to drive down the mountain, so we stayed until Monday morning. The kids had a great time playing in the snow and riding the horses. Here are some pictures.

Here is Isis playing with a farm play set on Thursday evening. Steven drove up on Friday morning to teach Michael and I how to snow board. Here are some snowboarding pictures.





Michael and I spent the day on the bunny slopes learning. We both did pretty well. We did have some good falls and crashes but no serious injuries. We had a blast and think we are ready to move past the bunny slopes. Saturday we decided to take Isis tubing. At first she was scared to go down the big hills with us, so Tiff took her on the small hill. After awhile she wanted to ride with Uncle Steven on the big hills. Here are some pictures:

In this picture Michael was on his tube, Steven and Isis on the next tube, and myself on the last tube. We were holding onto each other and riding down backward. The kids were having a great time and we only stopped when Isis ran out for energy. In the next pic, Isis is being carried up the hill for one last ride.

Once the kids rested the got to ride "Shotgun" on Saturday afternoon.


Sunday the snow fell. It snowed off and on on Sunday. Here are some pictures from Sunday.
