Tahoe continued.

We did a lot of fun things in Tahoe besides playing with a brown bear that I mentioned in my previous post. We went to the beach, went on walks, rode bikes, went in the spa, ate good food, played games & had a great time together...

Claire enjoying the sand with Daddy (at first). 

Then all of a sudden she decided she didn't like it. This is her sad face...the bottom lip is the cutest thing ever. 

She got really sad & then finally mad. I don't think she like the feeling of being dirty so much. 

Claire & Aunt Lizzy. 

She mastered her crawl while we were there (she had ben doing the army crawl up to this point). 

My mom & Jim. 

Claire in her cute little bikini we got her. She LOVED going in the spa (& I love her leg rolls). 

Aunt Lizzy & Uncle Trent. 

Mom & Jonathan bike riding. It was so beautiful there & we all had so much fun riding bikes around. 

Claire doing what she does best...napping! Who wouldn't want to lay down & take a nap in the sun though?


Thanks Mom & Jim for taking us! We can't wait to go again!   

Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See??

I see a family looking at me. 

Well it is true. We were looking at him. All seven of us. But that was because my 80 year old grandma opened the door of the condo in Tahoe, to find him eating our trash (I know...our mistake by putting it out there in the first place). It was definitely an exciting event. Here are some of the highlights...

- Once my grandma saw the bear she came back in & told us like it was no big deal. So we all rushed out into the hall to see him. 

-In not exactly my most proud parenting moment, I told my mom to bring Claire outside to see the bear...as if she would even know or remember. Claire did laugh at him though.  

- After I took the second photo he ran toward us & we all freaked out and made it inside with the door shut..well all of us but my stepdad...sorry Jim.  

- The bear passed him & went to the stairs next to our door to go back to the forest area. 

-We watched him from our balcony since he was right below us (that's where I took the first photo).Jonathan felt bad for him since he had just woken up from hibernation & all, so he decided to feed him lunch meat like he does with our dog Gus. Not his finest moment. 

-So thanks to Jonathan, the bear came back to the door two other times that day looking for food & eventually the police had to come. 

- In the end, we had to admit that we had trash out in the hall, but we forgot to tell the part about Jonathan feeding him turkey...OOPS! 

As for the rest of our trip to Tahoe.... I will post those photos tomorrow!
