meadows around Lake Tahoe. We went through the Camp Richardson Coral to get the horses. I thought we'd have other tourists on our ride, but it was only our family and the guide. Rick and I were at the end of the line and therefore covered in dust by the end of the trip. Katie and Kenny were nervous, but easily put the ride at the top of their list of favorite memories of our trip.
Katie's horse was named Pokey.
Can you say "Wide Load"?
Kenny's horse was named Marvyn.
After our ride we headed back to the cabin for lunch and to gather our beach gear. Before hitting the lake's shore we visited the Tallac Historic Park. The park is a standing as a testimonial to the wealthy of the 20th century. The estates on on the Tahoe shore and are elaborate (for their time) log homes that were summer get-aways for the upper crust. The grounds had some pretty flower gardens. Rick took some pictures then handed the SLR camera over to Katie (to begin her education in photography). Her
e are some pictures she took: Can you see the bear?
From the historic site we made a short jaunt to another parking lot and headed to Kiva Beach.It was late in the afternoon, but the kids made the best of it digging in the rough sand and wading in the shallow *cold* lake water. I lounged on the beach and Rick took out his stunt kite and gave it a spin (it was certainly windy enough).
We headed home for a spaghetti dinner, back out for HUGE scoops of ice cream at Camp Richardson & back to the cabin again for soak in the spa & a good night's sleep. Ahhh the good life.
