Many Tahoe Days and a Visit From the Hansens

If it wasn't for Tahoe Reno would be another Elko or Winnemucca.  But thankfully there is Tahoe.  It is the ideal place to spend hot summer days and it is a quick drive over the mountain.  We love it and try and go whenever we can.  Here are a few of the days documented.  
This is when our friends the Hansens came a couple weekends ago.  They were on their way to California but we got to spend a couple days together.  When we were at Tahoe they rented kayaks and paddle boards, which everyone really enjoyed. Here are the boys:

 Lucy and Malia enjoyed some time together catching up:


 Clara clearly enjoyed her ride:
 A view back to the beach:
 Lovely:
Clara, Bria, and Ada had a glorious time together (this was from my phone and the lens obviously needed to be wiped clean):

 Everyone got to enjoy a few minutes on the paddle board too.  Sierra is launching Tucker off here:
 This was a different day, when Rob was able to join us:


 Rob diving in:
 If you blow this one up you will see Rob diving off the boulders:
 Anders jumping in:
 Tucker having a go (super sad that I didn't get Lucy. The camera went funny on me just as she jumped.):


 Another very fine Tahoe day.  I think this was a scorcher and the lake felt amazing:



 This was the day the boys and Rob were at cub scout camp and we went to Moon Dunes with friends.  Here are the adorable Ellie, Lucy, and Jenni:
 The girls giving the Hart boys and Clara a ride.  The water isn't muddy, just shallow.  Tahoe is amazing.  So clear and clean:

That water looks amazing, I NEED TO GO! I love that you guys get to go so often and mostly love Robert's signature suicide/dive.

Seriously, that Tahoe beach looks so great. The water is so clean and clear, I could drink it!

'tis gorgeous! Looking forward to our next visit. Meanwhile, hope the Henry's Fork is clean and swimmable.

Gah! I'm so jealous! That water looks AMAZING!! What fun! And perfect for summer. It was 100 degrees and like 75% humidity here today (ah, monsoon season) and I was dying. You walked outside and instantly sweat started pouring. And we have no pool in our development or our dinky little town.

And now I'm done complaining. :)

Seriously though, such a fun place to spend the summer!

Lucy reported that she has enjoyed Tahoe this summer. She said her dad paid her a buck to jump from the rocks. It all looks like lots of fun.

So gorgeous! It's amazing that you live so close to that place. Love the rock jumping. Funny that Udon had to pay off Lu:-)
