Lake Tahoe....again

 Our LAST weekend in CA and we decided to go to Lake Tahoe one more time to play in the water!

We went to King's Beach and it was sooooo fun!

We lucked out by getting there early (waking up at 5am pays off!)

We got the last jet ski slot for the whole day!  This was an unexpected decision, but what the heck, our last Saturday in our vacatio life... GO FOR IT!!!

It was AWESOME!!!

Ryan first took the Bs out...

Old Mama got on and off like a pro! I drove that sucker fast too...it was so much fun!  I stayed pretty safe though, because Brynnly was with us and on the back and I kept worrying she'd fly off!  Plus she was freaked out.  

Best Friends!

You are just THEEEEE cutest little bug in a ....life jacket! ;)

You loved Lake Tahoe.

I am so proud of how brave you are and adventurous!

Before we left we got some souvenirs and ice cream!

First Day of 5th Grade

Brynnly on her first day!

I can not believe this is her last year of Elementary school!

My last baby in elementary school.

Such a bummer of a way to wrap up this era, but maybe they'll be back in person before next May?

That is the great hope right now!!

She has been a champ adjusting to the online platform.

She even was excited.  She is definitely a leader and Ryan gives me updates as he listens to her interact with her class and teacher. She's the bomb!

I love she wore her tie-dye shirt and pj pants! Ha!! There has to be some perks of online school.

I love that this technology exists so she can start in CO even though we are still in CA.

She really is missing out on absolutely nothing, it is incredible!

So many things during this pandemic have really played to our advantage!

Lake Tahoe

This was the first time I had ever seen Lake Tahoe.

It was overwhelmingly gorgeous!

When we turned the corner and it was just there it literally took my breath away!

I had no idea!

We had no idea what we were doing.

So we parked because you could tell that parking was an issue and we walked to where we thought we were going. But it was the wrong way and treacherous behind the guardrail! So dumb!

We did get some gorgeous pictures though...

 

We happenstance found the trailhead.

We played Hunger Games at this awesome open area at the base of the trailhead.

The pine cones we chucked were HUGE though and we had some injuries! YIKES!

This was a GOOD HIKE!

It was challenging enough..probably felt harder than it was becasue we been held up in a house for 5 months! Our bodies were surprised to be moving for real again and for a consistent amount of time. It helped so much that a little rain could hung over the sun on our way back so we were kept cool. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

We played a little in the water, but everyone is nursing some INTENSE sunburns, 

so we couldn't stay too long. Blisters had developed on everyone at this point and it was no good!
