Vacation: Big Bear, On the Water

The third day at Big Bear Lake, our family rented a pontoon boat (thank you so much, Ted and Gabrielle!) and we had a blast touring the lake. Kris, Bryan, Debbra and Myke took turns riding the Sea Doos, picking up those of us from the boat who wanted to ride. Kris' aunt and uncle, Lynn and Rick, own a couple of large, fast Sea Doos and they put them in the water at Big Bear Lake each year for everyone to enjoy.


Even Daniel got his (very, very slow and short) turn.


David enjoyed driving with Grandpa. He stayed here most of the voyage. (Thomas is in the background.)


Watch out! Here I come!


Joshua enjoyed snuggling up with Janet, and spent his afternoon nap with the mountain lake breeze in his face.


Myke, Kris' cousin and Lynn's son, was kind to help us on and off the Sea Doos from the boat. I don't know how we would have gotten along without him! He was so good with the kids, too. They loved playing with him!


Here are beautiful Kaelie (Debbra's daughter) and her friend Sasha, enjoying the sun. Kaelie has grown up so much since I saw her last. I so clearly remember her toddling down the aisle at our wedding at the ripe age of two, and now she's thirteen! She was so sweet to all of us and a delight to be around.
