Big Bear




Spent last weekend in Big Bear. It was a lot of fun. Spent time with my bro and his fam. Went Friday after work and came back Sunday afternoon. Friday afternoon traffic is not so fun.... Went to Moonridge Zoo where they take in wounded animals and those who have been "imprinted by humans". Watched a 3:00 information and feeding session. Interesting-but gross. Dev was freaked out by the dead rats they placed in the trees for the owls. They threw raw chicken into the Snow Leopard's cage. Bears were great-they ate oranges, apples, and corn-much to Devyn's surprise and pleasure.... The raccoons opened up eggs and sucked the insides out-quite interesting to watch. Went on a pontoon boat on Sunday. Dev spent a lot of time driving-by herself. Emma (age 2) sat in my brother's lap and drove. She kept hitting the horn. Was very loud!!! Can you believe there is a floating bathroom in the lake? You couldn't pay me to use it. We docked for a quick sec for pictures but the smell drove us away-literally. Only bad part about the trip-lack of sleep. I don't do well in unfamiliar beds....
