Tahoe Hiking

Because we live in such a beautiful place we have spent a lot of time in the great outdoors hiking. Every time someone came to visit us we would take them hiking. Our most frequented hike was Eagle Falls. We’ve shared some of this hike before, but once the snow melts then we can hike all the way up to Eagle Lake (about 1.5 miles to the lake). It’s a fun adventure hike.
We also found a hike to the top of the Cascade Falls over looking Cascade Lake (a smaller private lake that is simply beautiful).

This one is probably about a mile long with some hills, but not too hard. It was fun to play along the top of the falls and the creek that created it, and to relax in that beauty. One day while Mom was off playing with friends, Dad and other friends (Fish & Casper) took me hiking to Spooner Lake. It’s another great little lake next to Tahoe. You can drive right up to it, and then there’s a walking path that will take us all the way around the lake. I got a bit tired, but it was fun.
And if you’re hiking around here in the summer, it’s necessary to stop at the Camp Richardson Ice Cream Parlor, delicious, inexpensive and huge scoops, can’t get any better than that!

Carnival

Wow September’s almost over and I am way behind in updating, but guess what here it comes. We have not sat ideally by this summer, but have had many adventures.
We started out by attending the local carnival. Pretty small, but we had fun in the kiddy area.

Actually, I was a bit scared on most of the little rides, but I braved through it and love to look at the pictures.
We tried: the Ferris Wheel The Merry-Go-Round (there was a cute little girl in front of us that kept me happily distracted)
The Roller-Coaster And The Giant Slide.

Gotta love small town fun!
