Down by the Lake

After spending so much time in the cabin, the parents decided to take [us] kids to Lake Arrowhead. The kids had a deal with one of the adults that if little J finished his food, everyone will get ice cream. That was some good motivation and they all got a treat! The kids also had a great time walking [and sometimes running] on the dock while feeding the ducks and the geese. It was a happy day.

Simple joys.

Sup dad? Sup dog?

It was a beautiful afternoon.

Fox is floating. And that's me pretending I'm not scared to fall into the water.
Sweater and bag: Forever21. Pants: H&M. Scarf: Cotton On. Boots: Urban Outfitters.

Our colors match!
PS, Fox got his legs back and this is the only smiling photo in this bunch.

Teasing the goose.

I am more concerned about him losing his balance. The docks were too narrow for my own comfort. LOL

Losing the sun.

Bye, bye.

His Birthday Vacay (iPhone)

Disclaimer: You might get an overload of my boyf's face in this post! ;)

Me: What do you want for your birthday, a gift or a vacation?

Boyf: Both!

Me: Okay then, where do you want to go?

Boyf: Surprise me!

And so the pressure was on. I've always looked at him as someone who loves to travel (he actually filled 3 passports as a kid) and loves discovering new things and be the one to tell people about it. I looked through Groupon Getaways, LivingSocial Escapes and SniqueAway to look for great destinations and I discovered Lake Arrowhead! I booked the hotel and looked for activities there - hiking hit the spot since it was something we both like doing.

Here are some pictures I took with my phone during the trip...

It all started here! My SUPER FAVORITE sarong over his eyes and his earphones did the trick.
He later on admitted that he got a little motion sickness in the middle of the trip.

I was fascinated by this. They were everywhere! It reminded me of the squirrels in
cartoons when we were kids!
