Loon Lake Chalet

My mom had this chalet all week so we drove up to visit. It took forever to get there through steep, windy roads. But once there, it is conveniently located less than 1/2 mile from the lake. Unlike the cabin last week this one had electricity, just not a shower.

This morning we went kayaking. It was Andrew's first time, but it was no surprise to me that he was a natural.

Harvey West Cabin

This past weekend we drove up near Lake Tahoe to a historic cabin my mom had rented. The cabin is so old that is has no electricity! However, the beautiful scenery more than makes up for the inconvenience. While there we celebrated my sisters birthday, went on a nature walk, had some amazing tacos with fresh salsa (my favorite) and enjoyed some quality family time.
