Our good friends Ariel and Damon Tribble invited us to join them, their daugher Alexandra, and Damon's mom Bobbie (sp?) on a day trip to Camp Richardson. This is a beach on Lake Tahoe that is kind of like a camping resort. It has cabins and things you can rent, a restaurant right on the beach, and a small marina a little out from the beach. Bobbie apparently worked there in the summers in college. It's where she met Damon's dad. Damon grew up going there in the summers.
We had a great time!!! We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the restaurant and then camped out by the water just chatting and playing with the kids. I can't say that watching over the kids is exactly relaxing, but we did our best. Our friend from Austin Drew (Taki to those who knew him in Austin) is in Tahoe now and joined us for a bit. It was great to catch up.
This was Owen's first beach day ever. He's seen the pacific ocean and the beach - but it was February at the time, so we obviously didn't spend any time there other than looking around for about 15 minutes. Owen LOVED the beach on Sunday. He had a great time playing in and eating the sand. And he loved the freezing cold water. Robbie held his hands and he just waded right in almost up to his nose and would have gone further if we let him. He would stay in there until his lips were blue and his teeth chattering and then we'd haul him out protesting.
Wonderful day spent with great friends. Looking forward to going back again next summer. :)
