Big Bear in Summer

We always go to Big Bear every winter around New Years. I am used to seeing it covered in Snow, and the Lake frosted over. This was Jordan's first time going in the summer, and I hadn't been in the summer in a long time...and we didn't stay on the lake. Wow, let me just say that I was thoroughly impressed! It is beautiful in the summer time, the lake is gorgeous, and it certainly helped that we stayed in an adorable cabin with our own private dock. And it helped even more that we stayed with some wonderful families. Clara was in her element, she loved all the people and little kids running around that she could play with. We had excellent food, thanks to Zandra! Our daily activities included relaxing, kayaking, tubing, wake boarding, playing games, going in the hot tub, playing bocce ball, and more relaxing. We had such a great time, that I definitely think Big Bear in the summer should be an added tradition. We were sad to say good-bye to everyone and leave, but it helps to know that our string of vacations isn't over yet!
