Big Bear Vacation







We took a mini-vacation to Big Bear Lake this week with Grandma and Grandpa Lehman and it was wonderful and relaxing. Our cottage was the same cottage we stayed at for our ski trip in February. It's a three bedroom, two bath, two story house; not quite the same as our cottage in Northern Michigan. Nick and Grandpa rented a fishing boat and went out on the lake one day while Grandma, Brady and I took a few walks and relaxed around the cabin. We all went to the lake on our second day and Grandma and I took Brady on the Boardwalks and to the farmers' market while Dad and Grandpa fished. Again it was so beautiful and relaxing. One of the best parts was we were able to escape the heat. It was only in the 80's up there. I think the grandparents enjoyed the reprieve from the harsh desert climate.

It was amazing to see Brady's reaction to the outdoors. Being so hot in the desert he rarely gets to venture outside. Based on his reaction to the wind, sun, and sounds of nature I think he's going to be a lot like his dad and love the great outdoors. Like a true outdoors man, we also introduced Brady to fishing, I think he likes it. We can't wait to get Brady and cousin Jack fishing together in August. Grandpa has already been talking about bringing back the father daughter fishing trips we used to go on except now we have to add the boys!
