We {heart} Lake Tahoe

We have a family tradition- every summer we join up with Brad and Julianne and family to go camping for a weekend. This year makes four years running. We always have fun and the kids just LOVE it. What kid wouldn't??
This year we went to Lake Tahoe. It was beautiful weather!! Our camp sites were okay (I booked them this year, and I'm no longer allowed to be in charge of that :) We realized we prefer to be more secluded than we were. Our camp site was about 500 yards off of Highway 89...so, lets just say we listened to cars driving by all night. I personally prefer to listen to nature while camping. But, that's just me.
Here are some pictures of our fun:

Our family went for a hike on Friday morning-planned by B. It was short, but sweet. Really beautiful.
Just playing in the freezing cold water!!!




View from our hike. It was right above Emerald Bay. Much love for Lake Tahoe!

The kids had tons of fun playing in the sand. They got together with a few other kids and made a little pond for some baby fish they caught.

Our bathing beauties!!!

All the kids playing in the sand

Hanging out around the fire on Saturday morning.
These boys together = TROUBLE!! They are really good boys...but they are definitely BOYS. They had fun killing the huge ants that were everywhere, and moving rocks and building forts. What else do boys do while they are camping???
We had such a fun and relaxing time. Can't wait until next year's trip!!!
