big bear 2013

 last thursday we were off to big bear with the montgomerys or at least some of the montgomerys.  stew found this place online and was certain it would be awesome.  turns out the boys loved it!  daddy and crazy uncle james loved it as well. 

 unfortunately due to gas or something we didn't see a lot of this smile on the trip.

 behind our cabin was a lot of land and a dried up creek.  we found this heart made of pine cones and the boys decide to add their own creations to it. 

 second year of hitting up the lake to drive a boat!

 he was a bit nervous at first.

 i spent the boat ride with noah asleep on the front of me.  not a bad way to spend the hour.

 we didn't catch any fish but derek did catch his hat after it flew into the lake.

 and the one on the far right was 3 days in without a nap and completely acting his 2 year old age!!

 crazy uncles

 taken by asher.

 please note the bump on asher's head.  he and ryder had it out on the stairs and down asher went.

 the day before, asher went missing for a few minutes, the longest few minutes of my life.  we did find him down behind the house.  i was sick about it!  i probably aged 10 years in those 5+ minutes.

 the whole gang!

a little scootering before hitting the road.
