Bass Lake California-- Day 1

Bass Lake was a blast!!!! We got home late last night and spent the better part of today unpacking the RV, cleaning the RV and trying to recover from the great week of fun (which included a 2 hour nap for mommy :)! By the way I am posting this at 1:30am so if I don't make a lot of sense-- sorry-- I'm exhausted!!

I have a ton of pictures to sift through so it will take me a few days to get all of them posted, but I did want to post a few. We left So Cal late (I mean really late like 11pm) last Saturday night. We drove about 4 hours and stopped in a Wal Mart parking lot to sleep for a few hours and then finished the 2 remaining hours Sunday morning. We got into camp and began to unpack. All our friends were already there (24 of us all together) and they were also unpacking and getting ready to head down to the lake. Our first day at the lake was just a partial day but it was a lot of fun. Our friends brought their bouncy thing from their pool and anchored it out in the lake and the kids-- and adults played on it all day. It was so much fun!! Our first day was just relaxing and all we did was hang out. We did not rent a boat or anything that day-- it was just relaxing.

I will post a ton more pics probably some tomorrow and some on Sunday but my goal is to get them all posted this weekend. I used both cameras so I have to download both SD cards plus video-- lots of work ahead of me. Anyway, check back soon and I'm sure there will be more pics by then :)

The bouncy thing-- FUN!!!!


Mia did great this trip (besides sleeping-- I'll get into that more later but lets just say-- Mia is not a good sleeper when she is overtired-- uggg!!!). She loves the water and has no fear (which freaks me out) but daddy was always there to float her where she wanted to go.



I just loved these pictures of Mia in her cover up. She loves to zip and unzip clothes and thought this was the perfect clothing item to get practice unzipping. Despite being over tired most of the trip, she did GREAT!!!!



I love these pictures of Owen. He looks so calm (which is so unlike him) and such a deep thinker.

Bass Lake is beautiful!!! It is about 1 hour south of Yosemite (we went there on Tuesday-- pics to come) nestled in the hills. The lake temperature is warm and the days were warm with cool nights. It was perfect.

More pictures to come :)
