tahoe baby!


so i'm not sure if i mentioned that chris, thalia, and i are on vacation this week with uncle ronnie, martha mama, and jillian, jenny, and joey...but we are in GORGEOUS lake tahoe!! and we are having a blast! i seriously can't begin to tell you how beautiful it is here. i still haven't adjusted fully to pacific time, so i have gotten to watch the sunrise outside our bedroom window every morning. the sunsets aren't bad either. we have had a lot of fun adventures over the past few days...we went on a boat cruise of the lake and learned about all the fun history (like the fact that the tour guide thinks jimmy hoffa is at the bottom of it!).

we went on a hike down to "vikingsholm" which is a famous house built on the lake. i carried thalia in my hiking backpack down the mile and chris graciously carried her the mile back up. i tell you what...the sierra nevada mountains are not hills! we also had pedicures...even chris! his first one ever! uncle ronnie is definitely rubbing off on him! today we drove out to reno for a rib cookoff. it was pretty fun...kind of like ypsi heritage festival meets barbecue pit. and thalia LOVED it! you should have seen her going to town on the ribs! (among her other food exploits this week are guacamole)
tomorrow we are going on a bike ride! you can rent the little carts to pull behind the bikes for thalia. many more videos and pics to come...just wanted to give you a taste of what we are up to.
much love, and a bit more sleep,
c, c, and t
