fireworks on the lake
amazing.
i was a little scared for this years family vacation. the kids were with todd this year, and i was so sad to not have them with me. i went a whole week without seeing them and i missed them soooo much.
i had to distract myself from that and just enjoy my time with my family.
i had such a fabulous time in big bear. i started it off with an awesome road trip with my 2 teenage nieces. we sang, laughed, talked about boys, ate candy, filmed ourselves, and saw scary people at rest stops. it was a blast.
during the trip we swam, played horseshoes, rode bikes, shopped, talked.... a lot, went swimming, played volleyball, watched fireworks, cooked, went jogging, read,decorated bikes, had a bike parade, shot water balloons at boats, experienced planking for the first time, went to alpine slides, played indoor soccer, played games, had a talent show, ate our dinners together, ate a lot of treats, painted nails, saw my sister whitney get engaged, and somehow managed to text way too much :)
i loved every minute of it, and i truly enjoyed every member of my family.
i have such a deep love and appreciation for my family and i am so glad they are so loving to me.
amazing trip.
