Memorial Day

WARNING!!!! LOT'S OF PICTURES!!

This is the first Memorial Day that we have not spent with extended family. We usually have a picnic with family or go camping. We are still trying to get used to not having family around.

Our holiday turned out to be better than we thought it would. We started out with going on a short hike to a waterfall. It was very rocky and steep.

Jim, Karissa and Lexie climbed further past the waterfall. Yes, my girls braved the rocks.

My little poser.

After the hike we filled the car with gas, got lunch, stocked up on treats and headed up to Lake Tahoe. When Ron and Mindy were visiting they found a neat place to visit by the lake, so we headed that directions. (Why is it the out of town visitors show us the fun spots to go?)

Emerald Bay

We hiked a mile down in the trees to the shoreline. This is Vikingsholm Castle which is next to the shore. Very interested, neat looking building/castle.

From the shore we continued our hike to another waterfall.

The girls once again did very good on the hike. Climbing back up was grueling, but they endured and made it!

It was a great day spent with Jim and our girls. I love them and enjoy spending time with them.
