CAMPING IN LAKE TAHOE

For as often as we've been up to Lake Tahoe and as often as we go camping, you would think that it would not have taken us so long to camp IN Lake Tahoe. We have always checked out the campsites, but have loved camping in Mammoth Lakes so much we just couldn't do it...that is until gas prices soared and then we said..."Let's camp in Tahoe".
We decided to camp at Camp Richardson, and though it was close to the lake it was not our idea of a great spot. We made the best of it and spent most of our time on the beach! Here is just a glimpse of one night at our camp site!

TAYLOR CREEK aka RAINBOW WALK

We've done this Taylor Creek Hike a lot...before we were married...after we were married & pregnant...with strollers...with wheel chairs (long story)...with toddlers...and no matter how or when we've walked this easy little hike...it has always been a pleasant day.

Horseback Riding

Well this was a family first! Though Chris & I both have gone horseback riding before, this was the first time for Wyatt & Lukas...they LOVED it!

Chris rode Cognac, Wyatt rode Shane, Lukas rode Marvin, and I, the klutz in the group got the "Trained Wild Mustang" (what is that???) named Sundance. This was a fact I wish they would have waited until AFTER the ride to share with me! Thankfully it all went well, Sundance is old and slow!

CRAWDADin' (Is that a word?)

This has become a tradition...at least for the last two years, Chris has taken the boys to the dock at Round Hill Pines to catch crawdads...or CRAWDADIN' as they call it! They used pork from the local butcher, and caught over 60. THEY ate them ALL...notice I said THEY! While THEY crawdad...I sit on the beach and read, then while THEY feast, I order take out for my dinner! They are tasty, just too much work for such little lobsters!

Trout Farm

This was toward the end of the trip. The boys did not have any luck fishing at Sawmill Pond, so we know this would be a "sure" thing...if you can call it that!
