Reno

Of our 5 day trip to Reno, we spent 3 days up at Tahoe. Have I mentioned how much I love Tahoe? It's gorgeous and unlike anything we have here in Colorado.

We went up in the afternoon of our first day there and enjoyed a relaxing beach day, complete with lots of digging, mud throwing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The paddleboard is the newest Tahoe toy- which Calvin (C3, or Grandad Cal, or Cal's dad) made. It's like a large surfboard that you stand on and, um, paddle. It's a ton of fun.

Here's Zach and Grandad Cal (C3) on the paddleboard.
Right before Zach decided to jump in. Sink or swim? Sink! Zach was a little stunned but otherwise didn't care much.

Cal, Pete, C3 on the paddleboard.




The second day we decided to head to the other side of the lake and go out on the sailboat that Calvin's parents have a share of.

Zach helping Cool Aunt Rosie steer the boat.

Pete, Zach, Cal.

Rosie on the paddleboard out in the deep.

Later that afternoon we let Zach do a little running through the sprinklers. Of course, it was record hot when we were there. He made all of us take a turn going with him and we didn't object.

It also happened to be his birthday, so we had a little party with the Gabbarts.


Of course, more fun toys.

Zach is awake and saying "Play Mom. Please. Play MOM!" so I'll do more later...

I love it. I hope you had an especially good labor day!

But i think that's probably Rosie on the paddle board.

Ah, yes, I guess I should look a little closer! I just saw shorts and hat. Good call.

Rosie + Jay said...

So does that mean I have a manish figure? Or is it the other way around? :)

Peter said...

I could tell it was you as soon as i saw the balding head and reptilian eyes.

Sorry Rosie. You're certainly not manly. And somehow I don't think C3 needs a bikini top.
