Today Auntie A, Uncle, M, & N joined Nonna, the girls and I down at the lake. The kids had a great time walking in the water (still pretty darn cold) collecting rocks to make their sand castle. Nonna, Auntie, A, Uncle M and I sat on the beach at watched. I did go and put my feet in, but couldn't get up enough nerve to actually swim. (Sorry C) Papa had to drive into town for an errand.
Uncle M rescued a hat that had fallen in the lake. He didn't have his swim trunks on just walked in...about up to his thighs and handed the hat to the people on the pier. "Horay!" everyone cheared. M safed the day.
Uncle M helped CK and N build their sand castle and then we walked back up to the house for lunch. The kids played all afternoon. During and after dinner we sat around the table telling family stories. My favorite thing to do. CK sat wide eyed listening to every word. These are the memories I love.
We've been keeping up on the status of a fire that started in Sunnyside, which is North of us and just South of Tahoe City. 89 was closed Southbound for a while (at Tahoe City), but apparently is open now. We'll check the status in the morning. Tomorrow we go home. The fire was headed North, so it shouldn't affect us here. We'll pray the firefighters are able to contain it soon.
We've had a great weekend getaway in Tahoe. It will be good to get home tomorrow evening and get ready for school on Tuesday. Goodness. I can't believe summer is already over. (sniff) We had a busy and packed summer. So many wonderful memories.
