Big BEAR!

We are so behind in our posts, but still wanted to post our adventures! We went to Big Bear for our 2nd anniversay, back in November. We rented a house/cabin, that was big enough for 10 people... There were 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There was a large family room and kitchen, along with a hot tub on the back yard deck, with a BBQ! We really had a great time!

This is the house. It was right at the base of snow summitt and big bear mountain. There was no snow but the weather was nice and cool. Before we got up to Big Bear we stopped at Tiff and Eric's new place in Redlands! We are so happy they are living closer to us! We still wish we saw them more though... They live in a very cute apartment and I think they like the new adventure. We also stopped through Running Springs to see Ryan's Aunt. This was right after the big fires, and Runnings Springs got burned pretty good. Luckily Ryan's Aunt's house was safe.

Well, we took our bikes thinking we could mountain bike a little, but ALL the National Parks and trails were closed because of the fire hazzard. They didn't want any new fires to start. SO, we found other things to do...

We rode the Alpine Slide! It was so fun! We took the ski lift up the hill and then got these sleds. We each sat on our own sled and then rode down the mountain in these track things - that you can see behind our heads in the picture on the left. It was really fun! We rode twice, although we probably could have gone at least 10 more times and still gone some more!

We had such a fun time! We tried to race, but I think Ryan's weight made it unfair... He always went faster.

We took our bikes out on the bike path and rode around the Big Bear Lake. The water level was very low, but we just kept thinking how much fun this lake would be in the summer! This was our first adult visit to Big Bear for the both of us... Now, we want to go back! Here are a few more pic's of our trip. We had such a fun time. The hot tub back at the house was great! We sat in it every night and enjoyed looking at the stars. We had such a fun time, and can't wait to go back!
