Big Bear Lake, California

The last week of July we headed to southern California for a Kjelstrom family reunion. John's family met together at Big Bear Lake. We were only missing Jason who is faithfully serving his mission in Brazil. Thanks to Ryan and Melissa who saved up their time share points to get three condos for the families to stay in. Lots of fun was had swimming at the resort pool, playing at the park, visiting the alpine slide, riding in the boat, water skiing, jet skiing, and playing at the beach near the lake.

Jeffrey was really brave and went down this water slide all by himself!

The alpine slide was popular with the little kids and big kids a like. Sammy LOVED going fast, so did John and Patrick. The men had time trials. Patrick and Spencer went so fast during the trials, they crashed towards the end. Patrick had some huge nasty scrapes on his arm.

Grandma Moats ordered a folding rocking chair and shipped it to Melissa's house so she could rock the babies. Trenton was in heaven. He fell asleep in her arms every time.
