Lake Tahoe -- Day 3

On this day we went for a really long bike ride. I waited with Boots in the back of Papa's truck while Daddy & Papa loaded all the bikes for our trip.

Here are Nana & I kinda cramped in the back of Papa's truck, but loving it.

During our ride we stopped and had lunch on the beach. I had to take Boots everywhere with me on this day.

I enjoyed the ride from my comfy spot in my trailer (w/ Boots, of course).

Here's Mommy & Daddy at our lunch spot.

And, Nana & Papa.

The ride was beautiful. Sometimes we were riding through the trees and sometimes we were right next to the lake.

We saw some geese on the beach. I was fascinated by them.

And, Papa took me for a walk on the beach.

Later that night, Papa caught us all in bed looking at the pictures we had taken so far.

Lake Tahoe -- Day 2

We had a laid back 2nd day of our vacation. It started with me jumping in bed with Nana & Papa. Papa, Kitty and I watched TV while Nana got up to make some tea.

Here's our view on the 2nd morning. No more rain!

I found a phone with a cord. Never seen one of those before. It was fun to push the buttons...

...and to pretend to call Nana & Papa G.

We loved looking hanging out on the balcony and checking out the scenery. See! We told you we had the best room!

I loved going in and out of the door.

Nana brought the binoculars and I always said I was "bird watching."

We took a bike ride to explore.

And, we went to the pool.

The best thing about this day was the Riva Grill. It was a great outdoor restaurant with an awesome view and very good food. Here I am bird watching... (actually boat watching)

...and licking my plate clean.

Bird watching Daddy...

and Nana.

I just didn't feel like posing...

but later they convinced me to.

Then we took a walk on the beach and Nana played in the water with me...

...and we got all wet :) It was fun!

We're back from our big vacation of the summer and we took A LOT OF PICTURES! We will probably just post one day's worth of pictures at a time so that you aren't overwhelmed from looking at them and neither are we from posting them!

The traditional "on the way there sleeping" picture.

Here's our hotel. We had one of the three best rooms in the place! What luck. We were on the top (6th) floor facing the lake. It was awesome!

Unfortunately, it rained right when we got there. So Daddy & Papa had to bring our luggage and all the bikes in in the rain :(

But here's how it looked later...

We had something to eat and walked around the shops at the marina near our hotel. I found this cute hippo floatie and begged Mommy for it. Even though they already brought me some water toys, they gave in when they found out this was only $3. They say it was the best $ spent on the trip. I LOVE this hippo! I even wanted to take it into the bath.
