Summer in Tahoe: Family and S'mores

Part of the magic of Tahoe is contained, not only in the beauty of the landscape, but in the people who we share our time there with.  It was so special for us and the kids to be able to spend time playing and relaxing with Great Grammy and Papa (and, of course, Day and Paw).  One of our nights spent around the fire pit I finally pulled out my camera and captured some of our moments.

Have I mentioned that Brooklyn is MOST at home in Tahoe? 

S'mores time!

Luke, like his Mommy, is very serious about getting his marshmallows just right

Kicking Off the Birthday Week

We kicked off Luke's week of birthday celebrations this evening by allowing him to open some gifts from our immediate family before the onslaught at his party tomorrow.

A pitching machine from Grandma and Grandpa...


...and a bean bag chair (cover to come)!

Some fun space themed decor for Luke's room from Great Grammy and Papa




 And a ping pong table from Day and Paw (Luke's request when asked what by Day what he would most like)



So many thoughtful gifts already ... such a lucky boy!

Papa's Birthday

Upon arrival home from the big wedding weekend, the kids were ready to gear up to celebrate some more.  Papa's birthday!  It was so great that he was in town for his big day so that Luke and Mia could share in his birthday cheer!

Summertime in Tahoe

We spent a wonderful week in Tahoe after school and all of the kids' activities had come to a close for the year.  It was a wonderful, relaxing, and fun break for us all.  Great Grammy and Papa came up also, making our time even more special.

This post is complete picture overload, but I just can't seem to narrow them down, so here they all are!

The kids spent lots of time hanging out with Sayde who lives next door.  They played in the water, rode bikes and cars, played Care Bears, went swimming together, and did lots and lots of swinging in the backyard hammocks.










S'mores time!  It was Mia's first time roasting marshmallows and eating s'mores, and I think she loved it!









Playground time - pretty much Mia's favorite place






  
Pushes on the swings from Papa for both Mia and Luke (who can absolutely pump on his own, but still likes someone to push him).  What lucky kids!


Luke took full advantage of the arts and crafts offered at the rec. center.  He went and did multiple projects two days in a row

Playing with Great Grammy

Luke's favorite thing to do when in Tahoe is to jump on the bungee/trampoline.  He was able to go two days in a row and is working towards being able to flip backwards!



Fun at the stores in the Northstar Village - one even has a sandbox and tether ball out front!












Checking out the building sites above Day & Paw's house - we had quite the adventurous hike.

Dinner out at our favorite, Pianeta's (thanks to Grammy & Papa for babysitting).  As usual, it was delicious.

As always, we loved our time in the beautiful weather and fresh air of Tahoe.  Looking forward to making the trip up again soon.
