Big Bear 2017

This last weekend we had THE BEST TIME with our close friends from college!
We stayed in Big Bear and loved getting the opportunity that we had to carve out time to be together...
Little highlights:
The Cabin:
 It had a huge side yard with a covered patio, horse shoes and basketball court:
We headed to "Get the Burger" for dinner, with our Thrashes:
There was a jacuzzi and the kids LOVED it!
The Mamas got to go running together...
(I really love these women...)
The favorite game of the trip was Splendor:
We headed to the lake to check out the water and ride bikes and play baseball:
It got COLD, so we snuggled up and watched the game from the sidelines:
 The girls are REALLY outnumbered in this group, but they are a force to be reckoned with!
(They also REALLY love each other...❤︎)
The girls went thrifting and had lunch together...
Walks in beautiful weather!
We also had a chance to stream the Semi-Finals of the Ducks vs Oilers, where the Ducks won 4-3 in DOUBLE OVERTIME!
It was SUCH a fun game to see:
(We were finally able to get it up on the TV, but how funny are they around the phone...)
Meals together were the BEST, even when we can't get the kiddos to look...
In the midst of playing games, eating meals, dance parties, and LOTS of laughing, each evening, two couples shared and we were able to take time to pray for each other and encourage one another... 
These kiddos keep us all on our toes in the best possible way!
(It should also be noted that we are down two families and 6 kids...)
We woke up on last to a house blanketed in snow...
 It was such a special ending to an amazing weekend!❤︎
