Today along Rainbow Trail

We took a rest on a bench along the Rainbow Trail just north of Camp Richardson in Tahoe. We saw the beginning of Kokanee Salmon spawning season. The Rainbow Trail has a very neat cutout in the stream where you stand at the bottom of the river and the top of the water is about 5.5'. They have large plexiglass viewing windows where you can see the fish as the swim almost like an aquarium.

"Oh no, the kite is falling!"

My new favorite picture of Emily. This was taken today at the beach just past Camp Richardson in the Tahoe Basin. Emily was flying the kite when it started falling towards the ground. She was surprised!

We're sailing on Lake Tahoe

We boarded the Windsong at Timber Cove this afternoon at 3pm for a 2-hour sail around the lake. Good thing it isn't a "3-hour tour."

Two worn out girls in Tahoe

We finally made it to the restaurant and the girls were pooped!

Wake up call

Darryl, Sarah, the girls and I all got back from an enjoyable weekend in a wonderful cabin at Donner Lake. Yesterday we played a little 1:1 basketball. Then he wanted to run to the cabin. I took the girls back first, then ran to find him and jog the final way back with him. My "run" was only .36 miles, but wow, it was hard. I have a leg of CIM coming up in December - I need to get my act in gear!

Fishing at Donner Lake. Got skunked.

Darryl and I went out fishing this morning. Donner is supposed to be a "ten o'clock lake" meaning the fish start biting around 10:00am. Well, we got there a little before 8:00 and stayed until almost 11:30. Not a single bit. Three poles in and nothing. Father and son about 30 feet away had no luck, either. We are going to try again.
