camping in tahoe

we took the kids camping in lake tahoe this past week. the culcasi's met us up there for a few days. what fun the kids had! they couldn't get enough playing in the dirt, swimming at the beach, and smores by the fire.

this was kaleigh and connor's first time camping which was definitely an adventure for us all. after the long ride in the car (a stop for lunch in placerville) we got to our camp site and started to set up camp. of course the kids helped...not!


the kids didn't realize that it took much longer than expected to unload our car that was literally packed to the roof and beyond with camping supplies and gear. the next day we went hiking at emerald bay. we only had to hear whining on the way back up to car...it really was harder going back up than down but we all made it!
what a view! lake tahoe is so beautiful. this would be a place that i could live, well at least in summer that is. not sure if i could handle the cold and snow in winter.
