4th of July - Days of Fun

July 5th we hiked up to Angora Lake.  We understood that the lake was right next to the parking lot . . . so we loaded up all the kids and their gear, coolers, picnic baskets, 5-gallon water jugs, kayaks, a  canoe and all of our swimming gear . . . and we hiked and hiked and hiked.  In reality it is a mere one mile (is that all???) hike up hill all the way, but beautiful, I might add.  It I must confess the guys took the heavy loads . . .  It is a beautiful lake and we so enjoyed the day.
Cori, Brittany and Ethan ~ contemplating the jump
Cliff jumping ~ it was about 70 feet high. As we all watched from shore, with our breath held and hearts thumping, I was asked where my children got their bravado . . . definitely from their father, I am pure chicken at heart!
Brittany leads the way and takes the first leap with Ethan and  Cory watching

Ethan goes next ~ yes, those are boats down in the water . . .

And Cori take a running leap

We so enjoyed our week at Lake Tahoe ~ the rest of the week we played lots of games, hiked, swam in the pools, sun-tanned, and the guys treated all of us ladies to a massage ~ pure Heaven!
We decided to try out some of the resort activities ~ Brittany, Megan, Ethan, Sandy and Ashton playing Bingo

Lunch at Fire and Ice ~ delicious!
