Big Bear

Hanging out with cousin Halley

"Edward did what?"

We had our first official family camping trip. If you know me or Matt then you know that we're not really the camping type. It wouldn't have been possible without Jackie and Nathan who are expert campers and who came with us!

My top memories from Big Bear 2009
  • Getting car sick on the way up and down
  • Watching Matt set up our HUGE tent for the first time
  • Realizing that our children were going to be filthy for 3 days
  • Scaring off the endless squirrels that eventually ended up eating a huge bag of peanut m&ms
  • PEACH COBBLER via the dutch oven...I love you Nathan
  • Getting rained on at the lake
  • Roasting marshmallows and sitting by the fire every night
  • Taking major sleeping pills to help me sleep at night
  • Finding a sick Jackie in the bathroom at 4 in the morning

I am glad I made it into one of your top memories. Thanks for sleeping with me in the truck! That sure was a fun trip.

Sounds like a super fun trip. Camping is a LOT of work, but definitely worth the memories!!
