Big Bear Vacation

I didn't take too many photos when we went to Big Bear in early July.  But I wanted to post the few I have, for the sake of preservation.  We had a good week. It was hotter than usual there.  And the water levels are way, way down.  So sad.  But we had a good time. 
We had different family members come up each of the days we were there, except for Thursday..  We arrived on Saturday, and set up camp.  We had a good spot.  A great spot.  It is usually water front property.  But not this year!

Sitting under the awning and looking out at this peaceful view was lovely.  Water, or no water.  You can see the dry docks to the left of the above photo. 

It was kind of sad to see the marina so low.  So many of the docks have had to be pulled out to deeper parts of the lake.  And walking down to the boat, seeing so much mud and shallow water is really awful.  I sure do hope we have some good rain and snow this winter!!!

This dock is where we keep our boat.  It's about half way down the dock.

We usually spend the whole day out on the boat.  We pack up lunches and snacks, and load a cooler, and off we go.  Noah is a good Captain.

 I don't know who that guy in the blue thingie is???

We got a Stand Up Paddle Board just before we left for the lake.  Everyone had a really good time riding around on that.

 Even me, who was too afraid to fall into that cold lake, so I sat down to paddle.

The Paddle Board is a huge hit!!! 

The kids had fun playing on the boat, and on the water. 

 And they fished a little too.

But the fishing was S L O W!!!!!
I always enjoy watching the kids interact and have fun together!

Unfortunately, Noah came down with a high fever on Wednesday night, and his Mom had to come and pick him up that next day.  We felt so bad for him.

Luckily, we had already gotten in the movies, mini golf, Alpine slides, and ice cream in The Village. 

It was a good week, but as always, I am ready to come, usually a day before our planned vacation ends.  I don't know why, but I always get homesick.  I am a homebody.  It is just who I am.

We keep the boat up there in a slip all summer, so we go up nearly every weekend for some fishing and bobbing on the lake. 

See you soon Big Bear.
