big bear {2010}

my parents took our whole family to big bear lake, ca this year for our big family vacation. we had the most AMAZING time. i grew up going to big bear about 3 times a year, and i had not been back since high school, so i was very excited to go and show todd and the kids where i had so many fond memories. the first night we got there we had a fun time discovering there were bats in my parents cabin. todd, being the animal catcher he is, started trying to capture all the bats. He set up traps, and tried to use raid to get them out. i don't even know if they were actually successful getting them out or not!
highlights include:
painful family pictures
rummikub tournament
pool tournament
volleyball game
nertz
apline slides
bike rides
