Tahoe, 2013

Another year at Tahoe.  We are blessed to be able to go to Tahoe's north shore, every year in August.  Kirk's parents have had a time share there for thirty eight years, since before my husband, Kirk, was born. Every year is wonderful, but some years are especially great and this was one of them.  There was a great balance of trips taken and days spent around the lake and at the condo.  I look forward to this every year.
 

Every year we swim in the lake to this bouy below.  It is so dang cold in that lake, it takes your breath away, as in you feel like your dying.  But, of course the kids get in like it's bath water.  They love getting in the lake and then running to the pool and jumping in.
 

 

 

This place that houses their time share is called Brockway Springs.  It's a gated community, located on King's Beach.  This is the pool and it's unreal.  It overlooks the lake.  It's the best.  The kids can go down to the lake and fish for crawdads, swim in the lake or play on the rocks and we can see them from the pool.
 

Here are our pool days...
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grandpa Rick and William.  This year my dad was able to reserve a place in Brockway Springs.  He was a few units away.  We had a great time, all of us together.
 

Sunday pictures is a tradition.  We take them on the church lawn and then sometimes around the rocks down on the grass of our unit.  Below are nine of Ken and Lesly's forty "some odd" grandchildren, including great grandchildren.  What you see below is nothing.  There are tons of them.  :)
 

 

Cousins.
 

Goof ball cousins.
 

The men.


This year we went to Sand Harbor twice!  It's my favorite destination in Tahoe.  It's like the Hawaii of Tahoe.  I love it so much.  There is no more relaxing, beautiful, picturesque place.

These two look like an old married couple.

She's calling him out on the left for trying to tease her during the picture.  They got it together on the right side... :)

 Back at the condo you can imagine the events.  Game playing, movies, cards, eating, goofing around, playing in the loft, and on and on.  

This is the lawn in front of the condo.  It over looks the lake.  This year every evening after dinner the adults and kids would play "pickle."  It's my kids' favorite game to play with their dad.  Instead of playing with baseballs they play with a Frisbee that they actually throw to tag the runners.  We had a blast.


 

The Frisbee is about to tag me...

But I'm safe!  Barely!   My husband still took the opportunity to tag my bum...  :)

Until next year, beautiful Tahoe, wonderful family, friends, memories, laughter, food, late nights, relaxing, pool and happiness...we will miss it all and can't wait for another year in Tahoe.  We love you mom and dad, for your hospitality and kindness to always let us tag along.  Some of our best memories have been made in...Tahoe. xoxoxoxoxoxxo
