Mishap

The Big Bear trip did have one mishap. During our sledding outings, we had to navigate around trees. We told Da Boys that whenever we yelled out the warning "TREE" they were to abort, or eject, or roll off the sled into the snow. Well, during one run, we either forgot to yell, or Casey didn't hear us... Alas, he wasn't seriously hurt, and with a little consoling, he "got right back up on the horse sled."

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.
