Lake Tahoe

We are having such a great time on our Family Vacation!!! We arrived here at the south end of Lake Tahoe Saturday night, after a 9 hour drive. The Kids did amazing in the car and have been getting along great since we arrived, what a miracle!!! If they keep it up we just might want to do the whole family trip thing again in the future! Thought we would share some of our fun pictures from our last few days adventure.


It is so beautiful here! I have never seen anything quite like it. Mountains, pine trees, the lake that has some of the most amazing colors of blue, and then the clear blue sky!


The kids jumped off the boat in Emerald Bay! The water is a little cold!


Riding on the boat! Mark had a great time driving, he was pretty great at it too!



My amazing kids!
They had such a great time on the boat. I am glad they got the love of water from their Dad!




Since swimming lessons, Kaden has become very brave in the water. After watching Tyler and Madison jump off the boat, he wanted to also. He didn't even hesitate. When he came up he had the look of terror on his face. I don't know if it was the cold or if it was because he went down pretty far before he came up, but either way he was so anxious to get back on the boat. Jacob wouldn't jump in because it was too cold. He is definitely my son!




Mark and Tyler decided to do something a little out of the ordinary and try parasailing. Tyler was a little nervous, but Mark was so... excited! Mark captured this great picture of Tyler up at about 1200 feet. They both loved it and thought Madison and I should try it. Maybe next time!



Going out on the boat to Parasail!

Having a great time at the beach! The paddle boat was fun, just a little exhausting. Maybe we are not in the best of shape. Our favorite part of the paddle boats was when we had two 11 year old boys ask us to race. We think they just thought Madison was cute, because when we ended up in a tie they both made sure to give Madison a high five! I think this is just the beginning.

The kids worked on this volcano for a good hour!

We love the place we are staying, it is so family friendly!
