Summer in Tahoe.

Last week we headed up to Mike and Nikki's vacation home at Tahoe.  We had a leisurely time, beaching, hiking and eating lots of delicious food.  We had quite an adventure with bushfires, thunderstorms and bears outside our front door, to name a few. (Disclaimer: These pictures suck butt because I forgot my camera and had to use my phone). 
Day one, we hit the beach.  Mike and Nikki had a secret spot which was completely private we had the beach to ourselves!

Daddy and Junebug.
"Hey there!"
Panning for gold
Getting messy
Cheeeeeeeeese!
Anton and Mike kayaking.
The next day we headed to Lake Barron, a smaller lake up in the mountains, the backdrop was spectacular and we had the spot all to ourselves again.




It's a hard life.
June and Nik hanging in the shade.
 The house backs on to a forest so I took the girls for lots of little mini hikes.
Queen of the castle
Not a bad back yard at all
Of course we took Charlie the dog.....or he took us, I'm not sure.

We bought JUMBO marshmallows for S'mores, I couldn't resist seeing how June handled a whole one on her own.




Oven-baked S'mores.......ooey gooey deliciousness.
June LOVED Charlie and Charlie loved June.
Sweet Andrew, always looking out for my girls.
 Time for an afternoon hike again, it really is hard being Mila.
A little rock climbing.....
"Mummy, you be the big bad wolf and I'll be Red Riding Hood".
 Red Hutt Ice-cream Parlour.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice-cream! Except for Mummy because she's lactose intolerant, she screams after Ice-cream.
 The next morning we heading off into the forest for another adventure.

 Then we headed over to Camp Richardson to see what fun we could have

The bears were quite friendly......
Thanks Mike and Nikki for sharing your fabulous house with us!!
