Nana’s visit

I was just going through some pictures and realized that somehow these pictures didn’t make it onto the blog. Not sure how, that just seems wrong! Nana was here over the 4th of July and stayed just about a week. We enjoyed the fireworks up at Lake Tahoe and then had a great weekend with Annie.

We joked that Tenley looked like our compassion child here- she was covered in soot from the sand hand to toe. The water was freezing, but Ethan being the good daddy that he is, braved the water for his little girl.

It cooled off quickly so we settled into warmer clothes, had a picnic dinner and relaxed as dusk began to settle in.

Isn’t this a great picture of Ethan??

It was so not crowded! We are used to braving huge crowds wherever there are fireworks and we had our own complete space with a sun tent, a pop up tent and chairs. We didn’t have any “neighbors” for probably 20 feet on either side of us and an unobstructed view of the water and fireworks. It was perfect!
