Lake Day...

I felt the need for a quick getaway, and there is no better place for me than Lake Arrowhead. We used to get up there for weekend getaways at least 3 or 4 times a year, but it has been a while since we have been up there. We weren't able to go for the weekend, but I was content with just hanging out for the day!

The weather was great, it was nice and cool, although the wind picked up a bit in the afternoon. After the horrible heat we've had at home the last few weeks, it felt GREAT to be in jeans and put on some sweatshirts!

We had a nice time just walking around the village, going in a few shops, walking along the shore, watching the boats, hanging out on some docks, and breathing in the wonderful mountain air. We even spent some time feeding the ducks...

We brought our own picnic lunch and the kids had fun playing on the grass while we ate. They could start a synchronized gymnastics class. :)

After lunch we walked along the shoreline some more and the kids spent hours looking for cool rocks and sticks and hanging out on the dock by the yacht club.
Pure beauty...
We finished the afternoon with a little ice cream...

It turned out to be a beautiful, relaxing day. I love, love, love being up in the mountains on a lake, and this is one of my favorite places. We had such a nice time just hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere and being together, and hopefully it won't be as long until the next time we can head up.
