We took our annual trip up north to Gardnerville in early July just as the heat was settling in across the southwest. The drive was a tad unpleasant this year, as we got delayed many times for a variety of reasons. It was actually quite comical the first day as we left Las Vegas and headed to Beatty, arriving around 9pm. Two little girlies in the backseat were NOT happy with this late arrival. Just a few of the complaints from the peanut gallery: I want my nice comfy bed! My butt hurts! I don't want to listen to all this racket! And of course the most obvious, I'm tired. I found this age of 5 1/2 to be the most capable of articulating complaints...might have to re-think the long days of road-trippin for future trips!
Eventually we made it to Uncle Bob & Aunti Diane's beautiful Gardnerville residence, met by lovely weather and lots of opportunities to be outdoors. After getting Kate's stitches removed in Truckee, we headed to South Lake Tahoe and let the girls run on the familiar Pope beach for awhile. Poor Katie wasn't allowed to get her chin wet and was so good staying on the sand or going knee-deep in water. We spent a couple more days at the beach, had a lunch at Wally's Hot Springs, made necklaces in Truckee, played at the park and enjoyed the view from the deck. Gracie and Kate enjoyed walking Bob and Diane's new doggies too.
