Uncle Michael's Visit and Phots

We were all feeling a bit under the weather this trip so we didn't get to get out all that much. Most of these photos are from around the house, but Sean and I did get to take the girls and Russell to Balboa Park for part of the day while Jennifer rested. It was a great trip...

Cabin Fever!

Well as you all know we went to a cabin at Big Bear in the San Bernadino National Forest. It was a lot of fun for everyone especially the kids who got to sled and just have a good time in the snow. Bear, it turns out, did not like it all that much and spent most of the time on Mamas lap while we were outside playing around, but inside the cabin where it was nice and warm he was having a blast. We all enjoyed it very much, even though on the last day I had to put tire chains on the Sulli”van” only to realize less than 5 miles outside of town I did not even need them so took them off. So enjoy the pics!

The twins, Rusty and Mama slept on the bed, daddy slept on the air mattress, and Bear slept in the playpen and then mama later in the night.

The cabin had a collection of VHS tapes to choose from, I think Bear is pulling out “Platoon” one of his favorites.
