Big Bear Zoo

On Sunday I took the kids to the zoo, while Max and his dad stayed behind to watch some football. The zoo is right around the corner from Max's mom's cabin, where we were staying. The boys were so excited to go to the zoo, and I have to say they were slightly disappointed because of how small it was (they're used to the San Diego Zoo), but, I think they still had fun. :) We got to see a snow owl eating a mouse, which was the highlight of the trip for Mason. He's still talking about it! What a sight for a 4 year old boy! All in all it was a fun little outing, and I'm sure we'll go back the next time we go up there!

Mason really liked these boas that were bigger than him!

My boys

I think the mountain lions wanted a taste of Archie. They kept coming over to the glass where he was standing!

Big Bear Lake

Last weekend we went to Big Bear to hang out with Max's dad, who was there visiting. It had been about a year since our last visit with him, so it was great catching up. We went to the lake and hiked around and let the boys throw rocks and get wet. Then we went walking around the shops downtown. Big Bear is a really fun place to visit and the boys had fun with their grandpa!

On our "hike."

The boys just couldn't stay on the trail. It was more fun to hike through the tall grass!

And, of course, they just couldn't stay out of the water. :)
