Big Bear

 Our second annual Demboski trip to Big Bear was another fantastic vacation. We chose a different house this time, one that is lakefront and it was totally worth it. The water wasn't clean enough to swim in right in our back yard, but it made it much easier for taking the boat out. The cousins got along beautifully and spent hours all day long playing with each other.


 The girls had a great time lounging in the sand and waiting for their turn on the boat. There were cocktails all day long and delicious food all day long as well.
 We even managed to go in the indoor Jacuzzi one time, and surprisingly nobody got sick or an ear infection from it.
 The dinners on the porch were some of my favorite memories. We all worked together to cook great meals each night and the view looking out on to the lake was gorgeous. One night when everyone had gone to bed, Paul, Katie, Mike H and I stayed up past 2 am, watching a magnificent lightning show that seemed to last for hours. After the kids went to bed each night we would play a game called Werewolf. It took a bit of recruitment on Paul's part to get everyone interested, but once we started we all loved it. We played two nights in a row. Paul's games always bring so much fun to our evenings.












 Going tubing was a major highlight of our weekend. We all went out everyday, close to all day. A few times it rained but we did not let it get in our way. The kids had fun on the tube as well, but Andrew was not a fan of going fast. It took a few tries to convince him it wasn't all that bad. He preferred to stay on the boat and raise the flag when someone fell in the water.




Another successful trip with an amazing family!
