Tahoe Part One

Can y'all say "BEAUTY! . . . JOY! . . .LOVE"

Backing up though, on our 9 hour journey to get to the lake, some sort of alien invaded Collin and he turned into a snarling, growling, crying, writhing, kicking ball of meanness, then he threw up and was his happy loving self. It was so weird! In the first one he's growling, "NO PICTURES!" The second is taken about 5 minutes later.

CAMP BYBEE!! Yes, every one of those tents and cars is ours.

Collin, aka PYRO BOY building one of several mini bonfires while his best pal Cora watches. And one (of many) of Howard's beauty naps.

Doing what we love to do most - siting around the fire, eating and chatting.

The older generation passing on the very valuable S'mores making skills.

I love this picture . . . too bad I never got one of Howard being Death at night in that hoodie!!

So, um . . . let's just say it was FREEZING at night. I slept with 5-6 layers a hat and hoodie at night, and still froze.

Good ol' Garrett - the kids favorite uncle giving Grace a ride (yes, he has swimming trunks on) in Baby Bumper - the one Jon and his brothers played in when they were young. And Collin chopping wood - he could have done that till his arms came out of the sockets!

The kids all drawing. They had SO much fun together!

The Bybee boys (Yes, we claim you as a Bybee Garret!) chewin' the fat while cookin' their fat. Yes, that is bacon wrapped around their sticks. They bought it for "catching crawdads". Uh-huh.

Jon frying up lamb on our night to cook.

The bathing beauties on the beach. Tevai, Noni, Grace, Eva, Kaya . . . and Seth.

Stay tuned!! We're only half way through!
