Beautiful drive to Lake Tahoe
Towel animals greeting us
Planning our activities while Cam watches the slick LCD tv
Climbing rocks
Uh oh, reached the edge
Little...legs...can't...reach...
Jump up!
Made it
Woah woah
Enjoying a nice coffee on a cool autumn day
Appreciating the warmth of the firepit
Making smores... Cam just wanted the marshmallows
Concentrating on the iPod. The scratch on his cheek is from a girl at daycare that he got in a fight with
Dex starting to get big
Sara and the boys
Cam said "heavy" after holding Dex for 5 seconds
Heading out with Dex in the Baby Ergo carrier. The Hawaiian print was $20 cheaper than all the other colours... (yes I feel like I have to explain why we bought that colour)
Funky tree, Sara's mom picked some sap from it
Found a beach playground but Cam was snoozing away in the stroller
Foggy hills on the other side of the lake
Happy to have found a deserted beach
I wasn't kidding when I said deserted
It's soooo quiet, very peaceful
I coulda taken a nap alongside Cam
At water's edge
Looking for a gold nugget
The water is soooo clear... and soooooooooo cold
Great big trees right on the beach
Cam doesn't like his new hiking boots; we put them on and he started to whine "Hard! hard!"
Unpacking for the hike
Cam excitedly showing us two sticks that he found
One for mama
One for dada
Nice day for a hike
Found something
Exploring on his own
Climbing onto a huge fallen tree
"I AM THE QUEEEEEEEN!!!" (she actually yelled that out, I kid you not)
Father-son enjoying the great outdoors
Did you have fun Cam?
Popo did :)
In case you were wondering where Dex was during our adventure on the fallen log...
...he was happily snoozing in the woods
I LOVE our stroller - lets us go on hikes like this
Dex napped through the entire hike
Salmon heading to the spawning grounds
Closeup of the salmon
This is probably where the bears sit to fish
So many fish
I didn't see any salmon actually get upstream - these salmon probaby won't make it to the spawning grounds
You do NOT want to be downwind from all the dead fish
Kinda yucky - the ducks were pecking at the dead salmon
Dex got to enjoy the great outdoors too
Cam loved watching the gondolas, yelled out "Obot!" everytime they passed by (that's Cam's way of saying robot)
Dex bundled up against the autumn chill
Snoozing in the warmth
First taste of processed cheese, straight from the packaging
Lake Tahoe is soooo blue
Finding a good vantage point for the shot
Ancient landslide has led to a patch of deciduous trees growing amongst all the coniferous
All smiles
Cam excitedly yelled "ROBOT!!" as we approached the telescope
Caught red-handed... or should I say, green-fingered
Sara's mom
Emerald Bay
Sara and Dex starting out on our hike to Vikingsholm Castle
Dex zonked out on the hike
Overlooking Emerald Bay
Catching up to Sara, Dex, and Popo
Mama, wait for me!
Thought he saw turtles, but no fish
Ice cold stream
Entering Vikingholms Castle
Peeping in - Cam got spooked by whatever was inside and got scared a few minutes later, we had to leave
Outside the castle
Friendly little squirrel/chipmunk
Stroller all by its lonesome
Sara wants to have a future home like this
On the beach of Emerald Bay
digging up pebbles
Introducing Cam to the age-old tradition of throwing rocks into lakes
Resting on the hike out
Trip to Lake Tahoe was fun but tiring, right Dex?
