Abigail, Harley and I got away for a few days this week up to our family cabin in South Lake Tahoe, which in our estimation is about as beautiful and relaxing as the world can possibly get. We both needed this little respite after what has been an extremely hot summer! (It actually got down into the 30s at night but 70s during the day) We spent lots of time lounging on the deck, with a view of Mt. Tallac still spotted with snow, listening to the rush of Spring Creek below, and watching Harley chase squirrels. We ate lunch at the Beacon Bay Restaraunt, which sits you on the deck about 10 yards from the shore, with a view of the entire lake. Later that evening we got Chinese take-out and took it to the beach and watched the sun drop over the moutain peaks. Needless to say, we both feel refreshed and I firmly believe that every pregnant woman in their 3rd trimester deserves 3-4 days at the cabin (Sarah, Shea, and Mary it's all yours!) I've put a few photos below of the trip, including Abigail and Gracie at 31 weeks and counting. Don't they look pristine?

This is Floating Island Lake that Harley and I took an early morning hike to up to about 7000ft

This is a photo along our same hike of Fallen Leaf Lake with Lake Tahoe off in the distance. The Gaines' - Wes + Steve have done this hike where we tied a ribbon around the infamous BAB'S (Bernie A. Blari) Pine
