We decided to sneak in one last vacation before school starts, We ended up going camping up at Big Bear Lake in California! we've never been there before so we thought we'd give it a try and Dillon's been wanting to go fishing. We left on Wednesday and after a few pit stops, a 4 hour trip turned into a 6 hour trip(why does it always take an hour to walk around wal-mart?) we finally made it after many, are we there yets? and Dad when are going to get there? We set up camp, feed the squirrels and went out to eat at this yummy Mexican joint (I highly recommend fried ice cream) When we got back to camp Darin of course had to tell the boys a few bear stories, and any little noise after that had to be a bear!! Thursday we cruised around the entire mountain looking at all the cabins and hit a few fishing spots, which Dillon had no luck catching a fish, but that didn't discourage him he kept wanting to try and would beg Darin to stop so he could try to catch a fish! (I think his Grandpa Hillstead would've been proud.) We went on a bear hunt to find the biggest bear to take a picture with, walked around the town, and the boys favorite was the Alpine Slides!! Friday morning we packed up and took the boys to a fish farm where Dillon was guaranteed a fish! he caught two, one was tiny which he named squirmy, and the other one was a 1pounder that he named spike! He had so much fun, in fact I think he would've stayed there all morning, but at $7.50 a pound two was enough. We had a good time in fact I wanna go back and stay in a cabin sometime in the winter!!

Looks like fun. Dillon, Bailee said the tooth fairy is finding her. Tami thanks for the tetris it came in handy.
I'm glad you got a last minute trip in too, looks like you had fun. We wanted to go camping & fishing this summer too, but I wasn't up to getting up twice a night to feed a baby in the freezing cold.
Sounds like you all had fun. Maybe we should go there for the Jones reunion instead of KOA!!!!
How fun to go camping at Big Bear. That's awesome that you just chose somewhere you have never been and went on a vacation. That's something we never do. Our vacations are visiting family in Logandale or Alamo. Whew who.. I love the pictures. You're good at documenting things. I need to get better.
