weekend highlights

when i was a little kid our next door neighbors would vacation at Lake Tahoe. before i even knew where California or Nevada were i heard about how great Tahoe was. i totally wanted to go to Tahoe. every year it was Tahoe this and Tahoe that. eventually it got annoying and i kind of wanted to steer clear of 'Tahoe', still not knowing exactly what it was. but last Saturday we went to Lake Tahoe and it was swell (especially with the echoes of Tahoe this and Tahoe that in my mind).


then early Sunday morning we nabbed one of the last parking spots within close proximity to the Reno Balloon Races, walked right up to the park and watched as fifty or more hot air balloons lifted off. spectacular.


geez. it looks like we had a pretty fun weekend.

some day i really want to see one of those balloon races! and I'd also like to see Lake Tahoe because of other people in my life who have been Tahoe this and Taho that. That does look like a pretty fun weekend!

Sounds fabulous! We are hoping to go to Tahoe again too. Hot air balloons are so photogenic. I Love the bright colors!

Man, we've got to get to Tahoe! Looks like a splendid time indeed. And those balloons, "Just like a pretty rainbow!" Sounds like you got some mom-luck with the parking spot.

Your photos are wonderful. This little beach baby looks just like the photos of his sister with the pumpkin a couple of years ago-adorable!
