Big Bear!

This past weekend we went to Big Bear with Codys family. Thanksgiving was our holiday with them since we will be at Hume for Christmas so it was great to have the extra time with them!. I have never gone on vacation with Codys family and this was a fun way to start hopefully a lot of vacations with them:-) Everyone went exept Cameron (His girlfriend was in town) and Grandpa & Grandma Mooney came along too. On Friday night we headed into the village for the Christmas tree lighting, Christmas songs and of course Santa! It was cold but we all bundled up and walked around the stores for a while until Kevin had to go home. His shoes hadn't been packed and so he was wearing my running shoes! haha they worked but his toes were hurting pretty bad at the end of the night:-) The next morning we got up and Robin cooked us a very yummy breakfast before we headed back into town for more shopping! We found some cute ornaments to remember our trip with ever year, and got Codys family a pickle ornament so they to can have the pickle tradition! I found a gorgeous tree topper for Anna... I hope she thinks so:-) And we had a lot of fun just wandering around and looking



The girls got cat puppets and took pictures with Santa. It was such a fun little town to be in.
We headed back to the cabin and me and Cody took a nap! Haha we are old people. Than we all headed off to the town theater to see Cinderlla the play. Me and Rylee enjoyed it the most I think:-) The boys laughed a lot and seemed to find it very funny....
On Sunday Cody got up early, built us a fire & made us all coffee before taking the girls fishing. Rylee caught her very first fish and was very proud of herself! The big girls stayed home and cleaned the cabin and packed up. When everyone got back we ran to the Alpine slides and had a lot of fun until Kevin crashed with Rylee and they both came away pretty banged up:-( Rylee split her lip open and burned her chin and hand. Kevin hurt his arm pretty bad and got some burns as well as tearing his pants... it made the afternoon not seem as fun. We were thankful that was all that happened though it could have been much worse. And having a experianced EMT around made the parents less stressed to the handed Rylee to Cody and said Do something haha... I felt bad for Kevin he was really upset about hurting Rylee. It could have happened to anyone thoughWe headed back down the mountain and shopped at Bass Pro Shops for a couple hours than Grandpa treated us all to dinner at the amazing restraunt! We had so much fun and cant wait for the next time we get to all go away together!What a blessing to have two amazing families:-)























After that we headed back down the hill and stopped

Sounds like a wonderful time! I am so glad it all went well. I felt so sad that Rylee hurt herself, and Kevin too... I hate stuff like that, but it sounds like everyone bounced back well enough and finished with a bang.
It is a blessing to have such a nice in-law family. God is good.
