Lake Tahoe 2011

Last week was the annual Moore family reunion (step-moms side of the family). The last two years this reunion has been in Sunriver, OR and before that it was always Minnesota. This year it changed to Lake Tahoe, CA. Not sure who of you have ever been to Lake Tahoe, but it is an absolutely beautiful place! The weather was perfect, low 80's during the day and cool at night to keep the humidity and strong heat away. There were beautiful beaches and scenery as you are nestled right up at 6,000 feet in the mountains. I know my pictures won't do it justice, but the scenery was amazing. It was so nice to see family again and get to hang out for a week and let the kids hang out with their cousins and 2nd cousins. Such a wonderful time! There are a lot of fabulous hiking and biking trails around Lake Tahoe, but having two young kids those were pretty much out for us, so we spent our days at the pool and lake and nights hanging out with family.
