big bear weekend

i love anticipating something. it can be simple, like the scrumptious breakfasts dale makes, or a fun weekend planned. i especially look forward to trips away. a couple of times a year we go to my dad and stepmom's house in big bear. it is a time to relax, to get away and enjoy the beauty all around, to eat good food and have those fun family talks. the first weekend in april, dale, aleah and i visited dad and leslie. we visited the zoo there and i practiced with my new camera. here are some of my favorites.
