The night before we had planned to head up the mountain our car broke down. It had just gotten out the shop for it's 60K check-up when Nick decided to drive it down to LA for a Lakers game. Lucky guy...4th row Lakers game tickets then Big Bear for 2 days of snowboarding!! Anyway, he wasn't so lucky when the car started smoking from the engine and leaking profusely. He had to have it towed 61 miles from LA only to find out the car shop forgot to hook up the coolant hose completely!!
Finally, 4 hours late on Friday morning with some eager kids we were headed up to Big Bear. Needless to say our first stop when we got there was not the cabin...it was a much needed drink and lunch.
We spent the rest of our days inner-tubing, eating, snowboarding, relaxing and eating some more. The kids tried snowboarding for their first time as they spent the day in lessons on Sunday. The lessons were pretty trying initially, but by the end of day they were cruising down the bunny slopes. It was the cutest, funniest and proudest moment to see them fly down those bunny slopes, crash and burn and then do it all over again!!
We all had a blast and thanks mom for a great trip! Can't wait to do it again!
