Summer - 3 of 4 - South Lake Tahoe

My maternal grandmother - Joanne's family had a reunion this month in Lake Tahoe - the California side.  Many of my mom's cousins, aunts, uncles and extended family were there.  We drove, and it was a surprisingly easy 10 or so hours from Utah to Tahoe.  The new vehicle helped make it easier, for sure, as did my mom's presence.  She drove both ways with us and certainly helped entertain and care for the boys (in additions to books, toys, games, snacks, and iPad games and movies.)
We camped at a place called Camp Richardson and shared a camp with my parents, Ben, and cousins Tim, Natalie, and their kids Quen and Duncan.  The boys LOVED camping there (well, Sam screamed bloody murder the first night when he woke up and didn't realize where we were.)  They thought it was awesome waking up with the sun (which was not so awesome to me,) and going to bed late and dirty.  I think they were in heaven having other people there to entertain them besides the same ole same ole mom and dad. 
While there, we spent lots of time at the lake, (swimming, playing, kayaks, volleyball, etc) and a little hiking (Emerald Bay - gorgeous!)  We met up with the bigger family every night for dinner and visiting.  It was fun to see people I hadn't seen for YEARS and YEARS, and meet some new faces, too.  There was a mini talent show (my mom and sisters/cousins sang a Mary Poppins song) and Isaac decided, after a bribe of $1 from Ben, that he would get up in front of everyone and sing "We Three Kings" (remember the video from Christmas?)  It was adorable.
 I brought the camera on this trip, but forgot to take photos (I think I got like 3 pictures! haha!)  The photos here are from Ben and Aunt Clare.

Ben teaching Isaac to "lay down a beat..." haha

Aaaaand, this video of Ben and Isaac beat-boxin'!
