So last year we were fortunate to be able to take a Thompson/Keane Family trip up to Big Bear....it went so well that we decided to make this year the 2nd
(hopefully) Annual Thompson/Keane Family Trip. Sure it can be crazy with five adults and
SIX kids running around one house for a whole week but the scenery, good food and time together is well worth it!
So we left Monday early afternoon and finally made it to our final destination, our cabin a.k.a. "Once Upon A Pine", right around 2 pm. Lucky for us Big Bear just had about two feet of snow dumped on it making everything beautiful...and cold! Here are a few pics from ride up...
Ever since we told Syd that we were going to the snow she has been obsessing about making a snowman...so of course as soon as she saw the first sign of snow while we were making our way up the mountain she felt it necessary to ask us [every 5 minutes!] to pull over so that she could make a snowman. We had already been on the road though longer than we should have been so we told her she was going to have to wait till we got to our cabin and she could make a snowman there...being the clever girl she is though she told us we needed to go faster! By the time we got settled in and unpacked it was a little too cold and too dark to be able to make her snowman so she did have to wait just one more day but she did
FINALLY get her snowman...and boy was she proud if it :)
Since then the kids have been able to go sledding a few times, play out in the front yard, play table hockey, go in the jacuzzi and much much more. Right now all the "Big Kids" (Nick, David, Jen, Micah & Dillan) are out hitting the slopes and enjoying the beautiful crisp sunny day out on the mountain. We still have a few days to go and many more pictures to take and we will make sure to post the full album as soon as we have it but for now we will leave you with this last few pics to keep you wanting more ;)
Till then...much love! The Thompson
