Big Bear

Our first family vacation of 2016 was a snow adventure to Big Bear, Ca. We had great accommodations right on Big Bear Lake, thanks to Steve M. The house came stocked with a shuffleboard table, and a cocktail table video game system with all the '80's classics. Da Boys sure loved those games. We also got snow, and lots of it. We did many snow-related activities, including making snowmen, having snowball fights, making snow angels. We also had powder fights. At times, the snow was so powdery that it wouldn't compress into snow balls. So Sydney just threw powder at people. And then there was sledding. Everyone did lots of sledding. Da Boys even leaned a new term. When someone crashed the sled, and took a face full of snow, Da Boys learned to say, 'I ate Sh!t'... Yup, that was definitely a popular phrase during the stay. The Hurtado's joined us, so Da Boys got to play with their friends Paolo and Gian.
