No Snow in Tahoe; Lots of Smoke


Crazy like Dada!?!

A couple weekends ago we had a great 3 day trip to the Tahoe area. A friend of mine let us use her wonderful house in the Tahoe-Donner subdivision. Three stories tall on the side of a hill covered in yellow mountain daisies. We had a great day climbing with the kids at Donner Summit. Everyone got to the top of the big slab. Dada had a short attempt on a harder route and took a bit of a fall, two weeks later, my left ankle is still sore. Next day was lazy in the house, playing Risk and pool. Then a day playing tennis, making sand castles, and peddle boating and kayaking on the western shore of Donner Lake. Sunday Team CrockerBoys merged with the Trupelli's for a grand float down the Truckee River, long and lazy. A serene communion with the natural environment and 5,000 drunk natives.
Floating the Truckee River 12 in the raft.
