We are all becoming huge fans of Big Bear. It is our first vacation destination of choice. We love how close it is and how it feels like an instant vacation. The snow in winter and cooler summers are just amazing. We go up there whenever we get the chance. We had an opportunity to go up and stay a few days over new years and we had an amazing time! The place we stayed at was literally next door to a great sledding hill. We just walked a few feet, it was heaven to just sled all day without having to worry about bathroom breaks or getting too cold. Kitana became an instant little snow creature. I caught her wandering around on all fours like an animal from the wild. She was eating the snow and just being her cute little self! She also took the opportunity to make the perfect snow angel. Zara had a blast too and loved going on the sled with her sis the best.
The place we stayed at didn't have cable or internet. Paul and I spent the evenings doing puzzles and we played lots of board games with the girls. We found another great place to eat in Big Bear and enjoyed our favorite gelato place. We seriously have thought about moving up here on several different occasions. It was just overall an amazing time.
We came up a few days after a snowfall. We were just grateful to have snow to play in, but Paul decided to make it extra fun for the girls and made it snow just on them. They loved it. We seriously played in the snow pretty much three days straight!
I got a selfie stick for Christmas. This trip was my first time playing around with it.
This is how daddy improvises when Z can't reach the sink. I am used to our stool at home and kept having to lift her up. Leave it to Paul to find a solution!
Zara is obsessed with Candyland and will play it over and over again.
