Tahoe 2013

We just came back from our time in Tahoe. This trip is definitely a family favorite each year. This year we made a list of all the things we wanted to do while we were there. Each day we looked at the list and crossed off the activities we accomplished.
The Giorgetti family stayed at our same resort. Them being there added extra fun to our week. They are a family who enhances the time. They are so easy going and go with the flow. That's exactly how we operate on this vacation. No schedules or agendas.

One item on our list was swimming in the pool. Yes, we did it every day for multiple hours. Ryan was swimming a ton without his water wings- oh, the pride he had! Each night as we went to bed he would talk about how he was going to swim by himself every day. As much as we have always been in the pool, both my kids were later when it came to swimming solo. Haley is now a fish and has been for years. Ryan LOVES the water and is just getting it down without help.

Another list item was the beach! There is no way you can skip going to the lake while in Tahoe. It was a lovely beach day with perfect weather. I ended up talking to one of the employees at the beach about the book he was reading. It is about the public school system. He is a college student who is a product of the public school system. He said that he had a positive school experience and feels he was prepared for college (after I asked him certain questions, of course). He found this to be a very interesting read. I'll have to check it out.

Haley added "jumpy thing" to the list- nailed it!

 Mini golf was probably the most anticipated event. The kids LOVED it. It was so entertaining to watch them.

 Other items included a meal at Riva's on the lake (yum- Wet Woody's!), kids club (which they got to do while we were at Riva's), arcade at Harrah's and chocolate fondue dessert which is a staple on this trip.

A perfect vacation.
