Ended up in Big Bear!

Saturday was Sarah's (6th!) birthday party (Brian's cousin, Kenny's daughter) and so before going out to Riverside on Sat, I was in Target on Friday night getting a present.  Aunt Shirley called me and asked if we wanted to go to her mountain cabin after the party - OF COURSE!  I had ideas for the rest of the weekend, but this sounded much better!

We wore the boys out at a great birthday party on Sat - they had the party at Castle Park, which is like a mini-Six Flags with a big arcade, pizza, and rides.  Then we drove to Big Bear, which is only another 1.5 hours from Riverside (about 2+ from LA).  It was a lot of switchback wild mountain driving, but it was beautiful and the boys surprisingly slept through most of it.

Once we were there it was relaxing and fun.  Squirrels and birds, walking by Big Bear Lake, trying on ski boots- yes, on the boys and yes, they DO fit!  hah, the biggest surprise for me was that the boys thought the bunk beds were some sort of playground equipment!

We always have fun with Aunt Shirley and this was no exception.  It was our (me and the boys anyway) first trip to Big Bear, but certainly not our last!
