Labor Day in Tahoe

Summer holiday weekends are open season for family at the cabin. Josh and I have enjoyed spending time with my extended family during those times. We had beautiful weather at the Lake, it was a bit windy for the beach but we didn't really spend much time there. By Sunday evening there was just a tinge of fall in the air.

Just before we snapped this shot Claire dove into the coffee table and cut the inside of her lip. Fortunately she recovered quickly.

As Claire grows more confident in life on two legs she is less intersted in toys and more intersted in her surroundings.

We all learned a new way to wear our hats this weekend. Apparently this is the latest fashion in headwear.

Taylor Creek is a leisurely 1/4 mile walk through the Tahoe visitors center and fish observatory. We strolled around and let Claire stretch her legs. Josh even gets school credit for visiting here and taking some photos.

Claire seems to becoming more confident overall. She is not a risk taker but once she settles into her environment she is friendly and curious. We have observed this specifically with people. I think she is moving out of the "mommy only" phase.

Lake Tahoe...my summer get away

It has been years since I was at the Lake during a thunderstorm. I had to settle for a few thunder claps and some clouds. It was enough though and it didn't scare Claire which was a plus. I spent the weekend relaxing with my parents. Josh had to stay home and get some work done.

This is Claire's goat cheese face. She LOVES her goat cheese.

My dad taught my mom and I a few variations of poker but since the chips were in the room Claire was napping in, we had to settle for match sticks.

We took a nature walk at Taylor's creek. Such beautiful scenery.

My mom got to practice her narrating skills for school on Claire. Claire was enthralled.
