Tahoe in the summer! Who knew? It is absolutely gorgeous. Our friends have a "cabin" up in Truckee and since they were going to Lake Shasta they offered it to us to stay in. Lucky us!
This place is so fun in the summer. There was so much we wanted to do, just not enough time to squeeze it all in. The lake is so incredibly blue - no wonder everywhere you go around the lake has stickers & t-shirts to "Keep Tahoe Blue". It's freezing cold water but so beautiful to boat around. There are several restaurants & beaches you can boat up to and just simply amazing views all around the lake including some housing that is unbelievable.
This is an area called Emerald Bay. There is this stone structure on top of this island that you can hike up to. The tourist boats go there and let everyone hike up.

This shot is actually at Donner Lake. We spent an afternoon there at our friends private (well private for the HOA they belong to) paddle boarding and swimming. We had always wanted to try paddle boarding we see people doing it all the time. We love it! We were all pretty darn good at it and went for a nice ride into this lagoon on this lake. Uh Oh - a new sport we love!
More time at Donner Lake. The kids played on these things forever - I think we need to invest in some.

A shot of our friends "cabin" - so awesome they let us use it.
We hope to go back next summer. We have a list of things to do up there. There are so many hiking trails, river rafting, mountain biking - and even hanging out at the ski resorts which open for swimming, hiking, biking and ropes courses. We love Tahoe in the summer!

Oh wow what a treat! That photo of Mel and Coop is so sweet. I think paddle boarding might even be for me. It looks like fun! I can see new boards coming your way. Dean and Catherine's house is very nice. Good fun guys!
Love, G'ma S
