I "OFFICIALLY" see snow.

Big Bear, no it isn't a big bear.
It's this mountain my family went to for Winter Break.
I have to say I, my whole family, really enjoyed it. ^^


Day 1 - Road trip!

Okay, the car ride to Big Bear was not the best because of 2 things.
#1 - My baby sister (Ellie) kept crying.
#2 - There was so many twists & turns on the way up to Big Bear.

<Ellie & Mommie!! <3 So it was about a 2 hour drive. The 1st hour was kind of boring. I was falling asleep, but I didn't let myself. Because I've never been on the 210 highway. The 2nd hour we were going up the mountain. It was beautiful. The mountains were just covered with snow. It really did look like cream covering it. The clouds that day was pretty low, it practically covered the peak of the mountains. Ellie choose the best time to wake up and cry, during our way up to Big Bear. Everyone got sick of her crying, so my dad pulled over. We all got out, walked around, took pictures! (obviously)
Ellie, of course, happy and all stopped crying.


My family arrived at Big Bear around 2:30pm, more or less. We drove around the lake and it was really cool, because I've never seen a frozen lake. The town reminded me of log toys. They're a bunch of log houses covered with snow, something you'd see on TV. Anyway, when we got to our cabin, it was really nice. It looked like a really cosy house. Speaking of cosy, the heater was not working! But with a fire place in the house, the house was nice & toasty! haha

We just stayed in there the rest of the day unpacking, preparing dinner and watching TV!! They have CABLE! I don't have cable, but that's not the point. The point is, THE TV IS SO CLEAR!!!!!! My TV's an antennae TV and it is SO BLURRY.

For dinner we had (what I call) Steamboat, (what Americans call) Hot pot. Yeap, it was GEWDDDD
JEALOUS??? hahaha >=D
Yummie =P

After dinner, we played Twister! It was on a shelf there, so we just played!


Poor Audrey. Joseph's butt right in her face!

hmm... I think I'll just post pictures and explain. You know what they say, "A picture is worth a million words."

DAY 2 -
SNOW!!!

We went to this "Discovery Center". It wasn't very interesting. I just liked the sights. We saw an eagle if that's interesting to you. haha

Later in the afternoon, we played in the snow.

There's this place (I forgot what it is called) You go down a slide made out of snow on those black tube thingys. We really had fun, only thing was that I got kinda sick after playing for 2 hours. =X
HA! In this video, I'm going down the slope and my brother & sister fell off their tube!
In the other, I bumped into my sister. haha.


Ooooh, my mom drove us (my sis & I) to this place where there's a lot of fresh snow. So, we were playing around and taking lots of pictures! There was a barn with Llamas in it too!

Audrey & Me!

This is a Llama. We got to pet & feed. It also smells in there.


Oh here is my sister and I fooling around in the snow. To understand the comedy of this little "comic" you have to read the words. So, click on the pictures! haha
Hope its funny! =D
(Notice her gloves are not gloves!)




Day 3 - Going Home

On our last day, we went back to the same place with the Llama and snow. This time we brought my brother and baby sister!


More comedy! hahaha


It was lots of fun! hahaha
I'm embarrassing myself in this one. Hahaha. Oh well.


Later we were supposedly going to a Zoo, but my dad didn't want to pay for the 9 dollar admission fee. He said it was a rip off. I agree. 9 bucks to look at a bear and a few other animals. I'll go watch Discovery Channel.

HOME HOME HOME!!!

On the way home, we saw really nice sights. It was a bright clear day. Totally unlike the day we were going to Big Bear. We could see the city, valley, hills and the hills beyond!



And I'll end here! =D
