Because I took a bazillion pictures on our 7 day trip to Lake Tahoe, I am going to have to do this in sections so...here is day one of our family vaca to Lake Tahoe!!! This is Sunday morning stopping for gas before the long almost 10 hour drive...they still look happy right!
Our little helper Logan. Because all my kids are sardined into the back I have no way of getting back there to help so Logan has to do a lot for me, for the girls, while we are in the car! Here she is giving Kennedy a bottle...who most of the time doesn't want to hold it herself.
Big girl Karsyn in her big girl carseat feeding herself!
Taking a bath the first night we got there to get all that travel dirt and food off of us!! For some reason they really like this bath tub...I guess because it isn't their own.
They really learned to do some serious splashing on this trip.
Lots and lots of hot tubbing...the first night with Kinlee and Cassidy.
Kennedy is supposed to be sleeping but instead she is checking out the place, inside and out!
This was hilarious. We get all ready to go on the first day and my Dad backs out of the long curvy driveway and goes a little too far to the left and...whoops! He is high centered and totally stuck on the rocks. If he would have kept going he would have for sure rolled with my Mom and sisters in the car too! Clay stood on the back and I ended up on the front tire while Kurt pushed the car from the back...we got it off with no harm done and needless to say, he pulled in backwards from then on out so he could just drive out! Great way to start the trip!!!
Here is Me, Gen, Cass, Logan, Karsyn and Kennedy getting ready to start our first hike at Eagle Lake!
Because all of our packs and my Mobe wrap (along with half of our life) is in storage right now, I didn't have a pack for Kennedy so we had to take turns holding her. Good thing she only weighs 12 lbs, not too bad! Here is Cassidy with Kennedy on her shoulders.
Gen was such a trooper (and sucker) for holding Logan on her shoulders because she could have walked but she had fun for a while on G's shoulders!
Me and Karsyn in the Mobe wrap that Hailey brought! These things rock!
Now Kurt and Logan. She only wanted to be held for the first few minutes and then she walked the rest of the way, and had to be the leader!
Our little Fam on the bridge that goes over the water fall!
Mom, Dad, Gen and Cassidy
Here we are with Lake Tahoe in the background! The views at this place were unreal!
Here we are at the end of the hike when you reach the little lake.
The girls love the water, even this FREEZING water, we had to take them down to their diapers so that they wouldn't be sopping wet for the hike down.
Kurt had to take a little hike away from us for a minute!
Me and Karsyn
The boys couldn't decide if they really wanted to get in because of it being so dang cold but before we left they decided they did want to so...away they went!
As you can see from Clay's face, it was really cold!
But they jumped a few more times...Kurt pluggin his nose again
On the way back down Logan pushing this huge boulder! She said, "I think I moved it a little Mom"!
The whole fam (except Lace, Lance, and the girls who we missed) Makinlee, Clay, Hailey, Wyatt (on G's back) Gen, Cass, Me and Karsyn, Logan, Kurt and Kennedy, Dad, and Mom! We had so much fun on this little vacation and there is much more to come...6 more days to be exact!
We took many bike rides and loved to take the kids too! Here is Logan and Karsyn on our first ride!
Kennedy got to ride solo...for a while anyway. Once Logan started bugging Karsyn we moved her over with Kennedy!
Here I am pulling Karsyn and Logan with Cassidy and Gen behind me! Don't let this nice paved easy trail fool you! This was the easy part, then the last 1/2 mile back to the cabin was what I called the "death ride"! Straight up hill is not easy with a trailor, or without it for that matter!
We ate most of our dinners out here on the deck!
Kennedy's seat on the floor. I didn't pull a chair out of the house for her and she didn't seem to mind!
Cute little Kinlee in the hot tub!
Kurt and Logan in the hot tub...I told you Logan wanted to get in the hot tub pretty much every night!
We had to set up this cooler as a barricade to the deck because the deck had those cables on it and we were not going to risk one of the kids figuring out how to get through them. It is too hard to watch 3 busy babies!
We just had to take a picture of Kinlee and Logan going where no man has ever gone...putting lotion on grandpa's feet! AHhhhhh!
They had a fun game room downstairs that we would play in at night when the babies had gone to bed! They had a fusbol table, a dart board, and a TV! We had some good times down there playing games and stuff!
Clay killing us all at darts
Gen was a killer fusbol player...and actually Mom surprised us all by being pretty good too!
Here I am playing darts too with Clay!
The boys trying their hand at fusbol
KINGS BEACH!!! This was our first beach day and we made the trip up to the North side of the lake to Kings beach! As you can see, the beach was really rocky but the kids loved it because it gave them stuff to play with!
Here is Cassidy with Karsyn. Karsyn was not a huge fan of the water!
Gen and Kennedy, she liked the water more than Karsyn
Kennedy didn't mind the cold water!
Me and Kinlee! She loves when I make her take pictures with me! haha!
If you know my girls, you know they love rocks! All of them, here is Kennedy showing me hers! After that she probably ate it!
Logan, my "line 'em up" girl! I swear she lines everything up and the rocks were no different!
Logan was just in heaven at the beach she had so much fun!
Me and Kurt!
Just a little proof that the girls love dirt and rocks...to eat them I mean! I am sure people thought we were such horrible parents because I finally quit stopping them because it was pointless. I finally just let them figure it out themselves that it wasn't good!
Playing in the sand
Uncle Clay and making his castle with Wyatt! All three babies had on orange swimming suits and it so it was so funny to hear everyone talking around us about the "triplets". I am sure they were also wondering who their Mom and Dad were because of all of us there! We usually get all that with just the twins but with Wyatt looking like their brother it was even funnier this time!
Kinlee being buried up to her neck by Logan, Kurt and I think Cassidy! Doesn't she look cute even just as a head!
Clay's castle
Now it is Logan's turn!
Karsyn tearing down Clay's sand masterpiece...inevitable with 3 babies
Logan, Cassidy and Kinlee! The girls buried Cassidy as best they could! Oh and yes, there is still more to come! We had so much fun, and so many fun pictures to prove it!
