Lake Arrowhead

This past weekend we headed up to Lake Arrowhead for a little getaway. Our good friends Larry and Helen have a place right on the lake and they were nice enough to offer up their home to our family for the weekend. We had a such a nice time. Lake Arrowhead is beautiful and it's so close! It's only a little over an hours drive away which is great since Maddie started asking about 10 minutes into the trip if we were there yet. We enjoyed a cruise around the lake Saturday afternoon. William was not a fan of the life jacket but luckily Aunt Sonja had some treats stashed away in her bag. M&M's work wonders! Good thinking Sonja. Even "Kitty" got to join us on the boat. This is Maddie's beloved stuffed animal. We gave it to her on her second Valentine's Day. "Kitty" goes everywhere with us because Maddie sleeps cuddled up with her every night.
It was so beautiful up there. It really reminded me of my parents home back in Minnesota.
Maddie just loves her Aunt Soosa and Uncle Russell. Uncle Russell is so good to both Maddie and Wil. He never says "no" to them when they want him to play with them and he plays good!
We parked the boat and stopped off for a stroll around the little village and there was a lot going on! There was a little pumpkin patch in the middle of the village which was fun. Maddie was off jumping in the pumpkin jumper.
