Fall Vacation in Lake Tahoe

We just returned from our 2nd Annual Fall Vacation at Lake Tahoe. The weather was gorgeous and everyone had a great time. Here are the highlights:

All loaded and ready to go!

Justin mid-leap (he doesn't simply walk anywhere...too boring!) at Sand Harbor

Abby loved Sand Harbor (as did Minnie, who for the past couple
weeks has had to accompany Abby Every.Where.)

Justin is such a caring and loving big brother. He enthusiastically helps Abby over rough terrain.

Justin, hunting for crawdads

He found one!

Abby wasn't so sure about the crawdad but loved splashing in the cold water

On one of our favorite hikes up to Eagle Lake

Abby was a trooper and fell asleep in the backpack on the way to Eagle Lake

We got such an early start we were the first ones there and had the lake all to ourselves!

Eagle Lake

Justin's in there somewhere. The weather was gorgeous.

Mr. Ninja Warrior Justin had a blast leaping over rocks and logs at Eagle Lake

Overlooking Emerald Bay and Lake Tahoe

Abby was a trooper (despite not really napping much!).

Another of our favorite spots: Fallen Leaf Lake

Ready for a bike ride! Abby's helmet is a bit big. Notice Minnie?
I wasn't kidding about her coming everywhere with Abby :)

There she is!

We biked to this gorgeous beach and had it all to ourselves
(we convinced Abby to leave Minnie in the bike trailer)

Justin braved the cold and went swimming in Lake Tahoe!

It was a great week. We woke this morning to wind and rain so it was a great time to leave.
