Sorry it has taken me a while to get the last part of our trip up. I wound up getting a nasty case of Strep Throat on the way back to Portland & it took me a little bit to get back on my feet. What a way to end the trip! YUCK!
Any way, this is the 2nd to last day we spent on the lake. The wind died down, the sun came up, the lake was glassy & we had a blast.
This year our house was located on an Eastern facing beach (usually we are on a Western facing beach) so we had a sunrise (& moonrise) view every day. VERY NICE!
Erene is up bright & early harassing the other early risers like David & Fortune....
Not sure who's doing the harassing here...probably me. I'm the one walking around brushing my teeth. I seem to recall staying up way to late the night before & then Stella woke up way to early....didn't get much sleep, but for some reason I felt great at 7 am! Must be the fresh mountain air & healing waters of Lake Tahoe.
All day we hung out on the dock & played....
Even Stella got in on the action. Here she is with Uncle Patrick for a morning dip. Before....
During...
After....She's a good sport. The water in the lake is like 45 degrees this year, so ya can't really blame her for not being a HUGE fan. She loved it once she was out though...Erene, Sara, David & Inigo, doing the NYTimes Crossword puzzle & looking fabulous....as usual.
Xtina & I catching some rays...
So many watercraft, so little time. Topher on the paddle board, Inigo, Davey & Patrick on the kayak.
Topher & Fortune heading over to the ladies' floating palace....
And the games begin....those dogs had soooo much fun! Inigo & Fortune were very adept at jumping on & off the boats WHILE they were in motion. They had a blast.
Topher & Inigo...
They got so good at it, they didn't even need humans anymore. They took the paddle board out on their own...
AWWWW...Stella hung out on the dock all day & we never heard a peep except for her cute little giggles! She LOVES lake Tahoe.
Don't even ask how Patrick got salsa all over his trunks....
Erene & Chris & the dogs going for a row....
As if the day couldn't get any better, lets just cap it off with a spectacular sunset....
& crazy lenticular cloud formations that look like the starship enterprise!
Topher was going crazy though because he knew those clouds meant amazing soaring. He was eyeing them all day....
Best day ever!
