Lake Tahoe

Off we go to Lake Tahoe for a weekend trip!!  So excited!!


A very cute bear was waiting for Sydney out in front...





Sydney was not cold at all.  She built sand castles and even walked about 20 yards into the lake!  



A little gymnastics on the beach?


There she is - walking to the buoy!


Burying her legs in the sand - she can't walk!!


Our neighbors...












Driving around the lake on our way home we stopped at Emerald Bay.


And a brewery in Kings Beach!


Not a bad view from the table.




The End.

September

We started the month off with soccer, of course!!  Sydney scored a goal in this game but I was too excited watching her so I didn't get a picture of that.  I'll have to add Grandma's pictures because I think she got one.





Sydney's art crafts while watching the 49ers play football.  She got everything out and made some pretty amazing pictures!


And a visit to a pumpkin patch with some friends.  A huge bouncy pillow mattress to jump on, a hay maze, a tractor ride and more!!

Lost Coast 2014

We headed to the Northern Coast of California with Grandma and Pops on an adventure to see some beautiful redwoods and beaches.  

It's Friday and we have arrived at the Lost Coast!  First stop, why the Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka of course!!

 

A very tasty strawberry wheat!


Bug and I enjoying the start of our vacation.



Next stop, the Avenue of the Giants!  Stunning redwoods with beautiful green ferns scattered along the forest floor.  Our campsite was settled among the giants and as a result, we couldn't tell what time of day it was!!  It was so dark!




Not man bears and critters to worry about here.  This is where we kept our food.  Notice the very easy little lock on the right.  A Yosemite bear would laugh at these!!


Here's Grandma enjoying the afternoon in the Avenue of the Giants.


A little bike riding to get out some energy.  This was one little area we could enjoy some sunlight.




Pops climbed a huge tree stump!


Look who else climbed the tree stump by herself!


The next day we saw a gorgeous sun popping through the redwoods.  


A little bike riding before heading out to our next stop - the ocean!





A little stop on the way to the ocean to walk through some big tree trunks.







And our next stop - the coast of California, just north of Ft. Bragg.





This was only the halfway point but unfortunately I forgot my camera charger.  Oops!  Thankfully, I took some more pictures with Grandma's camera, but I just don't have them with me.  We had a wonderful vacation!!!  Thank you Grandma and Pops for a very fun time in our metal tent, haha!  Can't wait for our next adventure!
