Tahoe, food, fires and fun...

After we got back from the beach we spent some time relaxing around the campfire before dinner.   photo IMG_0333_zps79636943.jpgChris made fajitas that night which are always a favorite… photo IMG_0339_zpsfcee41c5.jpgChris and Christy do a wonderful job with the food when we are camping.  We enjoyed a variety of delicious foods like chili, cornbread, pancakes, breakfast burritos, and fajitas.  We ate well!  photo IMG_0338_zps7ea092d4.jpgWhile dinner was being prepared the girls did a little coloring … photo IMG_0332_zpsd95fff9e.jpgwhile the boys lit stuff on fire.   photo IMG_0336_zpse84e6bbe.jpg photo IMG_0335_zps7640ecd3.jpgAhhhh boys.  Gotta love 'em. photo a5c0780d-4717-4e1b-914a-4b8624ed0a6f_zps163cd166.jpg photo 13754f04-4631-45d5-8a63-db4751fac725_zpsc5b24fa7.jpg photo IMG_0354_zps4051df77.jpgThis kid.  He did not want his picture taken.  He did whatever he could to block my shots.  Of course, that didn't stop me… photo IMG_0346_zpsd7077df8.jpgeven when he tried to hide.  I hid behind the trucks, trees and bushes to get shots of him.  It became somewhat of a game and Jack had his eye out for me.  I heard him tell Landon once when I was hiding, "I think I see your mom…"   photo IMG_0352_zpsebb63de3.jpgThese two never failed to give me a cheesy grin... photo 1f5eee37-9145-4eeb-9239-6302e48d6724_zpsab70e955.jpg photo 76d06631-9aea-4e1e-9c34-db26eb893b85_zps538a0a16.jpgWhen the sun had set and it began to get dark we crowded around the fire and demonstrated our marshmallow roasting skills. photo IMG_0356_zps5f8504b2.jpg photo 18a6e6f7-bc75-4397-a7e6-218c0a6a20f1_zpsdf8639d3.jpg photo IMG_0360_zps9ad3b98a.jpg
Maybe skills is a bit of an exaggeration.  Ashlyn was disappointed when she lost her marshmallow early on and we watched as the fluffy sugar quickly caught fire. photo IMG_0355_zps37b7eb55.jpg photo 32e78f51-ed63-4576-ba00-6356a1f1a9d5_zpsf1c83a8b.jpgShe was over it pretty quickly.  Of course, two replacement marshmallows may have had something to do with that. photo 571ad613-022f-4512-9e69-c882b9178bfd_zps3aabf6c5.jpg photo 63177b91-5e6e-4c6f-82e0-29d6724f5e68_zpsf2e1de73.jpg photo 62ded992-c55c-4452-8c2d-fd265150d859_zps51561f2b.jpg photo IMG_0370_zpsbb0990d7.jpgKevin caught Julia mid-bite… photo ac4ea1b0-2ce5-4f20-9795-533f97aaef20_zps4601aac1.jpgI think it's safe to say that they kids enjoyed their s'mores... photo IMG_0368_zps0251db54.jpg photo IMG_0372_zps9e6a50c3.jpg photo c745053a-5d83-408b-8518-39759bc92ff5_zps67fda60a.jpg photo IMG_0373_zpsaf10791f.jpg photo IMG_0367_zps091420fe.jpg photo IMG_0369_zps7102796a.jpg
Here are some random shots that Kevin and I took on our trip… photo 6022a894-9b58-44bf-bfec-057986b14ef8_zps2846a2b1.jpg photo 7161e499-485f-4e15-9df7-c831559586a4_zpsb68a45aa.jpg photo 4da63f46-8118-4e06-87d0-ebfb5e147ace_zps87668c20.jpgThis is what happens when Chris gets a hold of my phone… photo 333207fc-247b-400a-8425-0e701796bd92_zps3b20085f.jpgA rescue helicopter that flew over us while we were enjoying the lake… photo IMG_0217_zps4cff139f.jpg photo IMG_0218_zpsb7935b8b.jpgKevin and I both upgraded to trucks this year so I thought I would document them in all their beautifulness.   photo IMG_0141_zps68f609d9.jpgThrough hail and pouring rain this guy always makes me laugh and feel loved.   photo 2c345d7d-ab95-4fa1-aeeb-05a49cf28918_zps9713d36b.jpgAnd that was our 2014 Tahoe camping trip!  It was beyond awesome and I can't wait to go back to Tahoe.  While some would rather have been in a hotel than a tent (you two know who you are) we all had a good time together and wished we had stayed an extra day.

There's always next year!   photo b23db217-d927-4b74-8803-ae5a36604943_zps93427326.jpg photo c8855117-a6dc-4b63-b48b-f9e2c5158a2d_zps78156937.jpg
Until then...
