Birthday on the Lake

For Cameron's B-day we drove up to Lake Tahoe. Our good friends Joe & Debbie let us use their house in Truckee for the weekend. Although Cameron hated the long car ride and PJ was also complaining the whole way, we finally made it and both were happy to be out of the car and running around.

We drove to the lake and had ice cream by the Truckee river dam and walked around the park and along the lake. We found a really good beach to hang out at. We couldn't believe there weren't any people. Cameron enjoyed eating apples and PJ played in the lake. PJ was fetching anything that he could find in the lake and he ran after anything we threw in, including the skipping rocks...

After that we headed over to the Nevada side of the lake and found hidden beach. This was a great site but it was pretty windy. On Sunday we headed back to the lake and hiked around the Tallac historic site. Cameron got to spend some time playing in the sand and PJ did more swimming. In addition to maw,maw, we also enjoyed spending time with Uncle Frank, Tia Diane, and Uncle Nicho. Jeff, Frank, Nicho, and Diane rented a boat while Cameron, my mom, and PJ hung out in town. We were all very tired so it was good to take a nap while they enjoyed Emerald Bay by boat.
We have some excellent videos of Nicho jumping in the cold water, and Jeff is still threatening to put them on YouTube. The trip was lots of fun and the best part was the cake. Cameron was lucky enough to get two cakes, one from the uncles and one from maw,maw who made daddy's favorite, banana. Although it was a great trip Cameron was anxious to get back home, I think she knew that is where most of the presents were....
