4th of July

Did I really not take any pictures? Oh man! For 4th of July we went up to...LAKE TAHOE. For those who don't know--In the past 10 years the only time I haven't been to Lake Tahoe during the 4th of July was the years I was on my mission. It was great to share so many traditions with Jimmy like the 4th of July parade we walk in (of course we decorate ourselves, skateboards, bikes, and the cars all up), the BBQ at the pool, followed by gifts from grandma, and then fireworks at night.

Ever since I was young I always dreamed what it'd be like to be at the fireworks on the beach over looking the lake with my husband...sound cheesy? Well I'm for real! And just so you know, it was better than expected.

We got tan at Kings Beach, jumped off the rocks and snorkeled at Sand Harbor, and skipped rocks at Rubbing Rock beach; ate amazing food, played card games well into the night, slept wherever there was room, and came back wishing we could live up there! Thanks G and G for that great cabin! Happy 4th (pics to come when my cousin sends me them).

Here is where we usually unpack our stuff, and the rocks to the right are where we jump off. (the water level is MUCH lower though--in fact--that big rock just chilling right in the middle left is where the water starts)
