THE BIG BEAR ADVENTURE: Don't forget your chapstick

My best friend Allison's Dad has a house on Big Bear Lake so the Gharst family and the Crockett family vacationed last weekend at this AMAZING house. We got totally lost on the way which doubled our driving time (this was after I just spent 6 hours driving the day before), but I can say it was totally worth it. This place was HEAVEN. The smell of the lake, the smell of the pine trees, that glistening water, the dry mountain air...everything. Amazing. (well...except for the GIANT animal heads mounted all over the inside of the house). We had a blast as you can see by the pictures...ping pong, air hockey, boating, fishing, hot tubbing, and my very first attempt at paddle boarding. Allison video'd me on the paddle board...it will make you laugh for sure. Allison posted it on her blog (see below). Thank you Craig and Karen for sharing your beautiful home with us and thank you again Gharsts for a super fun weekend!
