BASS LAKE

On Friday evening we met everyone in SB and spent the night. On Saturday morning we headed out. Here is Luis with his coffee for the long trip. He didn't act excited, but I knew he was. It was going to be the twins and his first time ever at Bass Lake. (This is my 19th time I believe.)

We stopped at a little restaurant in the middle of nowhere, but it ended up being the place where James Dean had died. There was a memorial outside the place.

The kids posing for a picture....

We had to buy these "neck wings" for the twins. We couldn't just let their little heads hang for 5 hours. They did good and slept most of the way. I had to put a towel over the window cause the sun was burning Felix's leg.

We all got there safe and settled in. The next morning Lili hung out with Tia.

Felix slept in with Daddy.

We had a great day at the lake, then partied it up that night.

The next morning we took the little one hour hike. Here is a picture of all of us minus Elaine, who took the picture, and minus Tommy cause he wasn't there yet.

Here is my family on the big rock at the top of the trail.

The first few days the twins weren't to sure about the water and sand. Then they got used to it and enjoyed it..

Tio Jack made a guy on a floatie in the sand. (nice buns)

Here is me and the kids in front of Ducey's. We had to go get wrist bands cause we rented a boat. They had to put Lili's wrist band on 3 times cause it kept falling off.

Some pics of us at the lake...

Ready for an EXTREME CLOSE UP...

My favorite picture of the trip, my boys...

Sophia says, "Daddy, are you in there?"

Felix was crawling on the sand, but when he got to the rocky parts he wouldn't let his knees touch the ground.

Chone got creative and drew a girl in the sand.

By Friday, the kids were all getting in the water on their own. To bad we were leaving the next morning.

Chone had gotten this super sour liquid at a store. Her and Georgie kept sneaking it into everyone's drinks. Luis and I were the first victims, and it looked like a Leprechaun peed in our Coronas.

Here we are ready for the trip home.

But not without one last group shot...

It was a little hard with the twins being so young still, but at least I wasn't breasfeeding them any more. We still had an awesome time! We did other things I didn't get pictures of, like bowling, miller's landing, boat rides, and some shopping in Pines Village.

Thank you Mom & Dad for another awesome vacation in Bass Lake! I have years and years of memories in Bass Lake and I'm glad my kids will be able to have some, too. And Luis had a great time and much needed time away from work. I think this was his first real vacation.
