We had a wonderful experience in our quaint Mammoth home surrounded by snow. Our almost 6 hour drive went surprisingly quickly as we were so excited to get to our week away home! Finally I was able to put you two in all your snow gear that I have had for a couple of years. Going to Big Bear is sadly never cold enough. We arrived our first day around 4 and checked into our 3 bedroom home. It was beautiful and perfect, perhaps best I have booked yet on VRBO. We quickly unpacked and headed out to dinner at a local mexican restaurant, yummy! The following day we went to the mountain and arranged our skiing for the following day. We then went to the grocery store and spent the rest of the day waiting for our peeps (The Girards) to show up. We had a wonderful day on the mountain skiing the next day (wow did Zackary and Dad do good for their first times). Emme and Zackary were signed up for separate classes, no other kids showed, so they had private lessons. Unfortunately, Emme cried the whole morning and was babysat as she wouldn't ski. That made me sad, but maybe in a couple years she will enjoy it. Zackary loved that his instructor set up a game for him and he advanced to another level every time he completed the course set up. I took a workshop and loved it by the end of the day Dad joined me and skied faster and better than me. Apparently skis are made different now and you learn different compared to back in the day when I learned. I basically have to relearn. The following day was spent going to the Village, and in the afternoon finding a hidden, untouched, deep snow area where we sled, built snowmen and had snowball fights! A definite highlight of the week. We celebrated Dad's birthday that night and enjoyed a dinner with our friends. The trip was a new favorite, hard to top I am sure!
Sledding with Daddy.
