Our day fishing in Big Bear lake!

We spent all day Wednesday up at Big Bear. It was absolutely gorgeous! We rented a boat and the kids got to fish. Trevor and Ethan were brave enough to jump in the really cold water for a quick swim. Grandma Thompson, Aunt Kim, and her kids were all with us. . I enjoyed being in the clean air and the view of all the pine trees was beautiful! We can't wait to go back and wonder why we haven't gone before. It was only an hour and a half away from our house. It was just a really fun day.

Here is Trevor bringing in a fish!

Good Job Ethan!! Poor Ethan was eating a sugar daddy sucker when all of a sudden we see his tooth stuck on the sticky caramel. It had come completely out, the whole tooth. It was the funniest thing to see! At first I wondered if it was his adult tooth but then realized he had a loose tooth already and all it needed to come out was really sticky candy.

Kate was happy to be there... I thought this was a cute picture of her. Of course she had to wear her brand new school shirt to fish in:)

Mack's very first fish (we released all the fish we caught back in the water:) I always feel sorry for the poor fish. The thought of a hook stuck in their mouth...ouch!

Noah was an absolute angel on the boat and was happy the whole time!

We had a great day and can't wait to go back.

It's so beautiful in Big Bear!

I love the look on Noah's face. Like he's just heard a joke and it ready to laugh.

What a beautiful pic of kate. Pretty in pink.

So fun for your family! I love little outings like that. We went to big bear last Thanksgiving and it was SO FUN! I forget that it is so close (although farther for us than you) and yet it feels like a completely different state! The pictures are beautiful!

What a fun day! We need to take Max fishing, we talk about it all the time, but still haven't done it. What a cutie Noah is! Isn't it nice when the babies cooperate?!

Fun. That's something we should go and do. I'm always trying to think of "what can we do, where can we go..." Looks like you guys had a great time. Too funny about the tooth.

What a fun trip! Looks like all the kids had a great time and how nice that Noah cooperated so well! How funny that Ethan's tooth poped out in his sucker. At least he didn't swallow it!
