Sunday Afternoon Roadtrip!

The past couple of days have been absolutely beautiful with clear skies, warm (if you can call 90, warm) weather. Following church this afternoon, we decided to take a drive up to the San Bernardino Mountains with our good friends, the W******. We all piled into their suburban and headed up the hill. It was so nice that all eight of us could fit in one car and we could enjoy the roadtrip together and have that extra time for fellowshipping. Hannah, Zachary, and Alex were loving sitting all together in the way back of the car, being silly. We went to a quaint little village located right on Lake Arrowhead. There are shops and eating places, and some other touristy fun things to do. Despite it being 4 days until Thanksgiving, the Village was already decorated for Christmas, as were most of the stores. One of the really neat things about this village was the Carrousel overlooking the Lake. Rachel was excited to get to ride this because of her love for Merry Go Rounds and Carrousels. We were the only ones riding it and what a spectucular view. Another thing the kids all enjoyed were the ducks that were swarming the lakeshore. They also had a lot of fun feeding the ducks with the duck food that was sold in almost all the little stores on the lakeside of the village. We had a great afternoon, but sadly, like most good things, the afternoon had to come to an end and we had to head back down the mountain. However, we're talking about maybe making a weekend trip the snow in February when the kids are off track and staying in a cabin that they have connections to!
