Big Bear Lake

This last weekend we decided to escape the heat and head up the mountain to Big Bear Lake.  It ended up being a very good choice leaving 106 degrees for the upper 70's.

We ate

Lucas got sick (seriously too many of our trips include someone getting sick!)

Eric and the other two hiked (it was sad to see how low the water was-we need rain!)

And we returned to reality-- where in 1 hour the temperature rose over 30 degrees as we descended down the mountain.

It was a great weekend and was a huge benefit to get away from the heat.  Enjoy this short little video of some of our weekend fun.

Do you take any weekend getaways?

  2. Oh my gosh, it looks like you guys had so much fun. We usually do weekend getaways too, like a camping weekend in Banff National Park or at Little Bow lake. Where we live now, we have a private community lake so it makes it too easy to just stay put and veg on the beach.
