4th of July 2011

We spent the 4th of July at beautiful Lake Tahoe with my family. I'm so glad everyone was able to be there. It's been a while since we were all together and it isn't going to happen again until December.
Braden, Kayla and I flew into Reno on Thursday, where my parents and sister Ashley picked us up at the airport. The rest of the family trickled in via car a little later. Some of the great activities included playing on the beach, the boat, paddle boards, and rafts. Braden wake-boarded on Friday morning but Kayla was NOT a fan of her daddy being out on the water and kept telling him he needed to be "right here!" (pointing to the seat next to her). We tried to get her on a tube with us, but that was a big failure. Maybe next summer she'll be happier on inflatable things in the water. She loved "driving" the boat and was often caught stealing Grandpa's captain's seat so she could steer the boat.
With lots of people willing to watch Kayla for us (thank you Mom and Ashley!), Braden and I were able to spend some time for just the 2 (1/2!) of us. We went for a walk, played tennis, and saw the latest Transformers movie with my elder siblings. It was great to go on fun dates.
Unfortunately most of the good pictures are in the wrong format for blogger, so I need to go through and switch how they are saved. I'll try to post some more pictures in the next post. There are a LOT of pictures to go through!
Kayla is telling the duck that wandered up on "our" beach to go away. She loved spending time on the beach and with extended family!
