Enjoying California

Two of our favorite places to visit in CA are San Diego and Big Bear. San Diego has a great portion of Jenny's family, and Big Bear Lake has Grandma and Papa's cabin! What luck to have so much fun and be with people we truly love...

Visiting the San Diego Zoo is always a blast, and the kids definitely agree.

Taking a ride on the tour bus

...and what is a trip to San Diego without visiting the beach?

And here we are at glorious Big Bear Lake, enjoying hikes and Papa's big new sailboat. Mary and Russell had so much fun, it seems a pity that we couldn't stay longer.

Here's Russell steering the boat...

...and here's Mary, keeping a serious lookout for sea monsters and mermaids.

Hikes are always so much more fun when you have a grandma pretending to be a growling bear behind you :)

What can I say about this one? Their little faces melt my heart.

Cabin or tent, NO mountain experience is complete without S'mores.
