Swing Set

This has been a summer of backyard projects. This is the only one that is completed. But hopefully will be enjoyed for years to come!

July 2010

4th of July took us to Lake Tahoe. What a beautiful place to be any time of year! We love it there, but we never have been for the 4th-so it was an easy excuse to meet my brother & his cute family from CA to celebrate our country's birthday!

Chase loves strawberries and nothings better than fresh fruit from CA! As you can see Chase couldn't get enough of them :)

Our lil' punkins enjoying time together which they never get near enough of....why is it so hard to get together???

This was our spot to watch the fireworks over the lake....

Chase riding his bike any chance he got....which means 25 trips to the bathroom per day

What else would Wright's do.....eat & play cards. Poor Nat thinking it was cold or something...

I love trees, and especially the humongous pines that surround Lake Tahoe....such a pretty campground.

We joked that the whole campground had festivities like a family reunion but this one was hilarious. They actually had a horse-shoe tournament where people(mostly men) were seriously contending for their name to be on the trophy. I'm not joking when I say people seriously go to this campground to compete in this tournament....oh yes, Ben & Chad had their go at the silver cup.

This was our view from where we watched the fireworks...you could actually see 5 different shows across the lake. Very memorable 4th :)

Of course Bear, our newest family addition had to make the trip as well....poor thing we're still brushing pine sap out of his hair. He is 10 months old already, but did very well and got lots of questions and compliments.

Part of the amenities they had at the campground. This one is not recommended unless you are old enough to walk, and young enough to not get a concussion. They also had a swimming pool, arcade, ping pong tables, basketball court, tennis, above mentioned horse shoe pits, a bike parade, ice cream social, doggie parade, movie night etc etc.

Our next adventure took us to the cabin with the Marrott side. I can't remember if Chase is waving or saying no more pictures. I was having camera issues again so when I finally get a new one I get a little excited. Nothing beats a cute boy ready to ride 4 wheelers.

Grandpa wanted to get the boat out and take it to Schofield fishing...Chase was more than ready to fish all day.....

Tyler's kids love to wrestle and Chase loves that he can wrestle with someone besides Daddy. He has a mean choke hold & have no doubts he takes after his dad on this one.

Pretending to drive...little did he know we were anchored down.

Only a few brave ones wanted to get in. It took your breath away for a second, but then felt really nice. Chase wanted back in the boat immediately, but Mitchell & Cole were the fun ones jumping off the boat with me.

Spiderman swimsuit must have been a good luck charm cuz Chase caught the 1st fish! Scooby doo pole works after all. He was so excited.

Two little partners is crime....what you might not be able to see is the cheesy lips & fingers. Chase loves all of his cousins soo much and can't wait for more time with them all this summer!
