Lake Tahoe!

Sam and I had the opportunity of going with his family to Lake Tahoe for a few days this past week. We had a good time, but boy was it crowded! His parents have a cabin up there and they usually go up there every year. Most of Sam's brothers and sisters and their families came up. There were 14 of us in this cabin (and it's not a very large cabin). We had fun though. Sam and I and some of his siblings slept out on the deck under the stars. Gosh, it's amazing how clearly you can see all of the stars up in the mountains! Anyway, here are some pics of our trip!

Here's a pic of the cabin. Yes we did fit 14 people in there!


Our first day there, we went to the beach at Lake Tahoe. The water was FREEZING!! I heard someone say it was 60 degrees. Sam and I went into the water briefly....and then we just relaxed on the beach.


Another picture of the lake. Look at how beautiful the water is!




On the second day, Sam and I went to the river behind the cabin. Well, it's suppose to be a river, but with their lack of rain, it was more like a stream. We had fun tromping through the river and just enjoying the beautiful scenary!



Here's another picture of the area around the river.



Here we have Sam's sister Megan, and her 3 kids (who we NEVER get to see....so I was excited they came up to Tahoe).



Sarah (Sam's sister) and I relaxing by the river while our husbands are gallivanting around in the river (what's it with men and their need for exploration??!?!)


On our way home, Sam wanted to go the "scenic route". It was quite scenic and we got some good pictures, but the road was sure twisty and twirly. At least the pictures turned out nice!
Well, that's all of our pictures of Lake Tahoe......until next year!

Oh my, Oh my!! What beautiful scenery!! I can see why people make that their getaway, especially after seeing that picture of the "beach", that I am pretty sure is too beautiful to be a beach!! LOL!! I'm glad you guys had a great time.
