Tahoe Visitors - Round Two

With the Alvarez family in town, we got a lot of sun/beach time in...and visited a lot of different spots around the lake too.

Meeks Bay - a favorite spot for everyone! 

Kenzo and I have the exact same "food face." Well, he is a Tsuruta! 

Maya, Auntie Julie & Naomi.

Then to Common's Beach in Tahoe City for a BBQ with EVERYONE! 

The Mills family in from San Diego - Drew, Justin & Chase. 

The Murphy family drove down from Portland!

Kenzo really liked Justin!

Julie, Dannielle & Kristi!

Mandy & Justin - so sporty!

The next day was Kings Beach on the north shore for some paddle boarding! 

Naomi with me on the back just to get started...

Kenzo loved being out on the board! So much in fact, that he almost fell asleep while reclining in the sun - what a life!

We towed Maya around too for an extra workout.

Everyone got a chance on the paddleboards and kayak that day! The guys were out golfing, so it was all the ladies and kids out on the water.

Me and my little surfer!

After the golfers got home, we headed to a nice dinner at West Shore Cafe! 

The "girls" end of the table (sans Julie Murphy) had a lovely evening together, while the "guys" end hosted a conversation about guessing each others' weight?!

The gang went for a float down the Truckee River the next day - super fun!

Movie star Maya and her entourage... 

Chase, Justin, Drew, Naomi & Maya...

Cute shot of Kara & Mandy!

The next day, we relaxed at the Mills' pool in Squaw Valley. 

Note Kenzo's relaxed back float!

Naomi thought he looked pretty comfy, so she had to try it too!

Me, Kenzo, Maya & Justin!

 Kenzo has really been working on "relaxing!"

Later that day, we met the Mills family at Meeks Bay for a birthday dinner.

Happy 10th birthday, Justin!! He is one cool kid.

Did I mention that Kenzo really liked Justin?

Drew, Mandy, Chase & Justin.

Kara, Maya, Naomi & Henry.

Love the late afternoons at Meeks!

Birthday suit and birthday cupcakes!

A quick hike up Eagle Rock!

The gang gathered at Hurricane Bay for a day in the sun and on the Bell's boat.

Kristi, Julie, me & Hilary.

Henry and Adam with the kids.

The peanut gallery left behind on the beach!

After beaching and boating, we hit Sunnyside for an early dinner.

Incredible - a table for 19 people on the deck at 5:00 on a Friday in August?!

Kristi & David! 

 Matises family portrait.

Sisters.

Mandy, Drew & Henry.

Hilary & Jeff.

Hilary, Jeff, Mandy, Drew, Chase, Henry & Eric.

Lauren, Naomi, Justin, Ryan, Maya & Peyton.

It was hard keeping the kids out of the water after dinner.

The Alvarez and Murphy families left for Oregon today, and we had the Mills family over for one last Tahoe meal tonight! 

What a fun week with our friends & family - Kenzo is exhausted beyond belief, but I'm sure he will wake up wondering where everyone has gone!
