Macbeths' Madhouse: Weekend in Big Bear

About Us

Brad: The best daddy in the whole world! He was made for this whole fatherhood thing, I'm sure of it! he is managing a huge Auto Body shop in costa Mesa called ICC. he really enjoys all the high-end cars he gets to work with, but could do without the high-end (AKA high maintenance) customers. he is the Sunbeam teacher in our ward and all his little 3-4 year olds just love him! He loves his girls and is completely wrapped around both of their fingers! Becky: Absolutely loving being a mommy! The entire experience is so much greater than I ever could have imagined. I am loving this summer even more than the rest (if that's even possible!) and truly believe that summer is God's gift to the world - or, at least teachers! Going back in the fall will be killer. But as for now, loving all the fun times with my girls! Libby: The most energetic little bugger around! She is the ultimate chatter-box and wows us daily with all of the things she can say. She is loud, lively, and so much fun! She loves the beach, the park, Disneyland, Shamu, singing, coloring, and anything that involves getting wet. Lexi: The spunkiest little thing around! She has quite the little personality and keeps us all entertained with her drunken zombie stagger, her "blue steel" face, and her complete and total obsession with food. She loves the outdoors, tearing things apart, making messes, and books.

Weekend in Big Bear

One of my mom's good friends has a timeshare in Big Bear and wasn't able to use it, so at the last minute we got invited to join my parents for a relaxing weekend of fun. Believe it or not, this was my first time every going to Big Bear and we all loved it.

Here are the four of us in the condo. It was right on the lake and had amazing views! We loved spending time on the patio.

We took a really nice boat trip around the lake and had a great guide that told us lots of fun facts about the lake and its famous guests!

The girls are all suited up and ready for a great time!

Libby and I enjoyed the ride together - she was a little wild, so I probably didn't get as much info out of the guide as the rest of the group, but quality time with my girl is totally worth it!

At one point, Libby even got to drive the boat! Watch out, world!

Brad treated us to ice cream that night after walking around the cute little village area for awhile. Libby was in heaven, of course!

My dad and his #9 and #10 grandkids - how cute!

The next day we hiked up to Castle Rock, the best view of the whole lake. Brad sure got his workout with Libby!

The guide books all said it was a "moderate to difficult" hike which had us a little worried with two kids, but we made it! (Only Brad went to the tippy top of the rock, but we all made it to the top of the hike.) It was gorgeous and we were so glad we did it!

My parents were total troopers - way to go, Mom and Dad!

This was mostly how the hike went: Lexi asleep in the Baby Bjorn (thankfully!) and Libby running wild with her dad - from being in his arms to on his shoulders to holding his hand and getting swung up the rocks. Like I said, Brad REALLY got a good workout out of it!
