Tahoe Part 1

It was time for some mountain love: some sunshine and pine cones, crystal-clear waters and rainbow trout, some wildflowers and ladybugs and lakeside splashing. What better way to spend a summer weekend?

Ladybugs Were Floating in the Lake Beach Baby
On the Rainbow Trail Asher Enjoys the Fish

Lucas rescued a dozen or more ladybugs from Lake Tahoe. Were they blown into the water?

Asher really got into the beach play this year; it’s so much closer to come here than to drive to the seashore!

The Rainbow Trail provided peeks at marsh life and fingerling fish and nice, big rainbow trout at the Stream Profile.

Drama

I don’t know what this plant is, but I thought it had lots of drama.

Running and Splashing

This is one happy 3-year-old!

We hope your weekend was just as magical!

    Thanks very much! I couldn’t believe all the ladybugs that were floating (dying?) in the lake that day! We must have rescued a dozen from the water and put them on the beach. My son and I were equally astounded by this. I suppose the insects got blown into the water, but I don’t really know.
