We drove up to Big Bear today for the first time since we moved out to the desert. It is a much nice drive from here, only an hour away and no traffic. It is such a pretty drive too. We went up there to visit Big Bear's Zoo, Moonridge Animal Park. It was an awesome trip.
The zoo is a rescue place that helps the animals in the area and keeps animals that can't be released into the wild. It is small but cute and not expensive. We spent about an hour looking around and then went and had lunch at "Get The Burger" which had the best onion rings ever. Well, except for the "Julian Cafe" they have the BEST onion rings. Then we drove around, found some other things to see next time we came up, and went back to the zoo to see the animal feeding tour. Coolness watching a bald eagle tear up a rat!
It was warm and muggy up there, but it wasn't 100 degrees so we were happy. I got a bit sunburned. We got ready to head back down the mountain and we heard thunder. It was very loud! Tom kept jumping out of his skin every time he heard it. We ran into Walgreens to get a candy snack for the road and when we came out it was pouring and hailing!! We couldn't believe it. Crazy weather. We watched it from the car and then drove on the mountain much to the dismay of my son who thought we were all going to die. It was a great day!!
