A Day at Tahoe

We loaded up the family with the kid's Uncle Lee (My sister Bethany's husband) and headed to Tahoe for some mountain fun while he was in town picking up his new hot ride - our funny little truck. It was a lovely day at Tahoe. We played on the beach, climbed lots of rocks around the shore, did some super easy path hikes, and had a great picnic. The animals at our picnic site were obviously very used to humans. At one point we had four squirrels and about ten birds hanging out very close to our food. Bridger and Angeli loved being so close to them and chasing them away when they got too friendly. :O) The kids and us were in heaven and it really was beautiful. I am already planning our next trip. If I get my way it will be this weekend!

Stewart is one of those that reads the little placards at museums and zoo's and other such places. In his and Lee's reading we learned some interesting facts about Tahoe.

- It is the third/second deepest lake in The U.S., tenth deepest in the world
- It's surface water never gets hotter then 70 degrees
- Is drained only by the Truckee River which is our river that passes our home
-The Trukee river is the river that makes Pyramid Lake in Nevada
-Tahoe was formed by moving plates and glaciers
- Twenty rivers and streams fill it today
- the water is super clear and blue!!!
