Memorial Day Weekend at Big Bear

Every year, we try to do it up on Memorial Day weekend because it's our "onofficial" anniversary (when we started dating). This year we took a weekend getaway to Big Bear Lake . . . which was awesome because I have a ton of childhood memories up there. We got to relax (an art I'd almost forgot), all the while:

Hiking the trails with our fancy new backpack . . . . but the "easy" trails aren't so easy at the 8000 foot elevation! But it was beautiful and certainly worth the effort. And it was all a part of our new, get-healthy fast daily routine :) Abby LOVED looking at the gazillion lizards with Daddy . . . seriously she was really into it! Hilarious!!! Now she is a professional lizard hunter. LOL.


Boating on the lake . . . and can I just say Jim is seriously boat-smitten now. So don't be surprised if we suddenly announce one day that we bought a (modest) boat. It really was fun. The day was beautiful and clear, and the scenery perfect as you can see below. Abby giggled and laughed the whole time. Well, at least until she got restless and wanted to jump in the water . . . or pick up the anchor . . . or run around while navigating someone else's wake . . . .



All in all, the weekend was a much needed respite from the craziness that has been our life lately. Finally able to breathe a bit :)
