Tahoe/ 4th of July

This post is picture heavy with scenery and family photos, just a warning, if you don't like that sort of thing. We spent the 4th of July weekend up at Lake Tahoe. Along with celebrating the holiday, we had a small family reunion, with David's family. We rented a really nice "cabin" up in Echo Summit, near South Lake Tahoe. The above photo was a bank of windows in the master bedroom. At night you could see all the stars, it was so beautiful.
Our cozy room. I can see how nice this would be during ski season, with the fireplace all cranked up.
We had fun making dinner in this spacious kitchen, on the first night we arrived.
Later we watched a movie with this very nice surround sound TV set up.
Pierre, relaxing ....
On our way down to the lake, we stopped for a few photos on Echo summit.
Our happy mood slipped a bit, when we saw this traffic that we would have to be in.

While killing some time, before we went on our lake dinner cruise, we drove to Emerald Bay.
To get maximum pleasure, click on the photos, to see the gorgeous colors of this lake!
This wouldn't be my blog, if there were not pictures of my cute girls posing.

Walking out to the boat for dinner.
Loved the lighting that evening on the water!

The view was so nice while we had dinner.
Cousin Tom, fiancee Kelly, cousin Paul, and wife Linda.


After dinner, we stepped out on to the deck for some glorious views.

The girls were having fun.
Next trip, I would like to tour this house, on Emerald Bay, it has a very interesting history, but the hike down was a mile and a half. The going up part would be what would have killed me on this trip.....Next time!

On the 4th of July, the family met by the lake for lunch, chatting and games.

Bocce ball anyone?

Before fireworks, we decided to grab a light dinner, with a good view of course!
Waiting for the sun to set, and the fireworks to begin.

Hope everyone had a very happy holiday!
