Catching up on June

So I haven't blogged for a freakin' eternity. This past month has brought a lot of excitement: Lime Kiln State Park in Big Sur with lots of Utah and Cali family members, visits from fun friends and family members, a 5th birthday party, and a week in South Lake Tahoe with Ben, Becca, Bella, and a brief visit from Susannah and co (sadly lacking pictures of their portion of the stay).

So this is a little photo essay. That's all I have for now. More later. LOVES, chi

The Ultimate Bubble Bath

I LOVE vacation!

South Lake Tahoe 6/13-6/20 with Harmons (Ben, Becca, Bella)

Beautiful s-i-l Becca with beautiful baby belly.

Underwear heads!

Post-lake outfits in the Galilee parking lot. (We found a private beach owned by an Episcopalian church called Galilee. It was our Sunday worship to sit in the sun, skip rocks, and enjoy the beauty at Galilee.)

Loving the thrift store purple SaltWaters. Loving the bubbles and luminescence of the water.

Three darling girls on the beach . . . Leah, Estie, and cousin Bella.

It's quite fortuitious that our one-week vacation in Tahoe ended the day before the huge and disastrous fires started. It was so beautiful . . . and sad to think of all of the destruction. I'm glad nature has a way of healing itself.

Just exploring.

My Jonnie and my Bennie (younger bro) on the beach at Lake Tahoe. 6/14

I love the illuminated Nemo sippy cup for some reason.

On the way to Lake Tahoe. Leah is quite the budding photographer.

Leah's 5th Birthday Party . . . very low key and manageable. The most creative thing we did was decorate foam visors. I'm liking low key these days.

Serious Hiker Chicks!

Stay away from the Poison Oak!
