We played in the sand.
Grandma took the kids on rides in the wagon.
Threw sand on an uncle and suffered the consequences.
The boys went surfing and Carter wanted in on the action too!
Played in the waves.
Took a picture I've been wanting to take for years. Logs don't wash ashore here in HB.
We came home and showered and headed to Big Bear for 5 days. We relaxed at Chad's Grandma's house and went to the zoo.
This wasn't your ordinary zoo. There were bears, mountain lions, vulchers and wolves. All the animals had a story. They had all been injured and nursed back to health by these zoo keepers. We're talking 3 legged bears, blind eagles. It was super interesting to hear each animals story. The best part was watching the Mama grizzly bear slap her child across the face when it roared (or talked back) in her face! Then she sent it to time out...NO JOKE. I was surprised at how much I have in common with a mama grizzly bear.
We went to the Big Bear Arcade and got the kids some treats at a cute store downtown.
The boys rented a fishing boat and fished for 8 hours. Uncle Jacob caught two trout. Chad caught two fish which the other boys called "tad poles that could be used for bait." Chad still denies they were that small. We visited them and went on a ride in the boat. The homes on the lake were so beautiful.
Took family pictures.
Then, someone farted! The picture taking ended abruptly.
Can you tell who it was? (It wasn't me...I was trying to make a grossed out face but burst into laughter!) It was a fun trip that ended with a bang!
We came back to work this week. Then Saturday we are off for a week at Lake Powell and a week at the river. I'll be back in 2+ weeks to tell you all about it.
