Our last four days in Tahoe we spent with our good friends at Casa Bowman.  Keith and Chris have been friends for a long time.  Since, like forever ago...like since the late 70's, man.  When we reunite in Tahoe every year, there is an instant comfort and lots of stories to re-live and laugh about. 
Every year we have the same schedule of events...we always have a beach day...
The men have a golf and poker day while the women folk entertain the kids.  This year we found a new hiking trail near their cabin.
While on the hike, I think we may have arranged a marriage.  Elise still has a choice though...they have three bachelors to choose from.  This day it looked like Cash had the edge.
 For the first time we all figured out the boys would be in a lot less trouble when the golf/poker day gets out of hand if the girls plan a day off as well.  We shopped, went to lunch, got our nails did and met this random woman outside of Garwoods. Amazing how a few drinks in high altitude brings strangers together!  The men took the kids fishing and Sam caught his first fish.  
They were also thrilled about spotting a bald eagle flying above them. 
We usually start out the 4th of July with a day at Northstar...here the kids are waiting for their chance to jump...
The trip would not be complete without a little photo shoot.  This is my favorite from this year.Our last night is always a picnic dinner, a group photo, and fireworks in Tahoe City.
We usually wake up at 5:00 the following morning to start our long 
and beautiful drive home down the backside of the Sierra's.  
Looking forward to Tahoe 2011!
