Big Bear, California

We are in Big Bear this weekend for a fun boating trip.
The MM family has a beautiful big house where we are staying with their family, another family and friends. We brought our 19' boat up to have lots of fun on the lake. 16 of us in all - - only 6 are adults!

It is so beautiful up here today with the blue skies. At the end of their driveway you can look to the right and see the ski slopes, and look to the left and see the lake.
Here's the view towards the lake.
We took the kids up to the Big Bear Zoo. I never new about that. But we have ONLY ever been up there to ski in the winter.
There were bears, mountain lions, timber wolves, coyotes, eagles, ravens, bison and many more wild animals. This picture of the porcupine is so funny.

Here's what the Bear Mountain Ski Resort looks like without snow.
