Big Bear Lake

This week my parents were at their timeshare in Big Bear Lake. Cody and I went up Thursday morning. The drive was fine, although I was a little nervous driving the mountain roads by myself. Cal-Trans was working on the road so they had traffic stopped several times because they had only one lane in use. That took a little while. Cody decided that he needed to just scream for no apparent reason for about half of the hour long trip and that just added to my headache.

So we made it to the resort, found parking, and found my parents and off we went. Marty was in her waterski vest, just waiting for us to get there. She skied and somehow my dad convinced me that I was going to ski, although the water was well below what I consider to be an acceptable "water-skiing temperature." After watching my mom jump in and yell and holler because the water was so cold, I was not planning on going anywhere near the water. I don't know what happened, but before I knew it, I had my vest on, my ski on, my gloves on and I was getting in the water (I don't jump in, I stand on my ski and it, very slowly and gently, sinks me in). Yes, it was very, very, VERY cold! I think it was the coldest water that I've ever skied in! I know, Big Bear in July, I am so spoiled! Anyway, I skied a little, then decided to give it up and get back in the boat. Then my mom skied again and by this time it was time for Cody's nap so we went back to their condo. We had lunch, Cody took a nap, and out we went again. This time I didn't go near the water. Okay, once when Cody said he wanted to go in the water. I held him and dunked his legs in up to his knees. He didn't like that too much! He did have a ton of fun pointing out all the boats and repeating "Nana boat. Nana boat." He also loved playing with my dad! They are always trying to tickle each other's buttons! That's your belly-button! Cody also loved the location of the condo as we were right above the playground and had a great view of the lake. Cody stood out on the balcony and talked to everyone that walked by! He was also talking to the people out on other balconies! I think my kid talks more than me! Anyway, we stayed the night. My parents and I watched "Knocked Up" last night and had big bowls of mint & chip ice cream and this morning was checkout! Thanks Mom and Dad! We had a great time!

I thought this was hilarious! A port-a-potty on water! Cody called it a house!
