Tahoe, early mornings...

For day one of our Tahoe camping trip go here.

We all woke up early the next day.  Morning sunlight streaming through thin tent walls doesn't really allow for sleeping in…neither do the annoying blue jays squawking in the trees.   photo IMG_0111_zpsd0747b11.jpg
Kevin quickly got the fire going and the kids huddled around the warmth trying to fight off the slight chill in the air.

Someone else did a little biking and I caught him even though he tried to avoid the camera... photo IMG_0127_zps95335007.jpg photo IMG_0128_zps6c68635e.jpg photo d9e64fa5-2ec8-47c5-81d1-ea239381deb9_zps165b1989.jpg photo IMG_0132_zps86069d9f.jpg
Across from our campsite were some boulders and the girls spent a good deal of time climbing on them.  photo 59b355e7-0b00-42c0-9e61-e0f400006f2b_zps61543583.jpg photo IMG_0123_zps7a5cf8ba.jpg photo 0d99e082-4bdd-474a-8b47-10a49191115f_zpse9a0c7ee.jpg photo 438e5229-fdfe-4fcb-8a5d-8f1b53d16935_zps136cfed2.jpg
