Two Seasons of Tahoe

Every summer my family, the Elliott's, and the Smelley's go to Lake Tahoe for a week. We spend as many  hours as possible in the freezing (literally) water, climbing on the surrounding rocks, chilling under the tents, and watching beyond beautiful sunsets. The end of each trip is spent in prayer, thanking God for another amazing week and wonderful summer. This, like always, is the saddest part of the trip because we know that we will not be back to the beautiful lake til next summer. Fortunately, the Ranck, Smelley, and Elliott kids were all blessed with loving, passionate parents who collectively decided we would be spending another season in 2010 in Lake Tahoe. Although we will not be spending countless hours in the water (let's hope not this time of year), we are all so excited to be together in our other hometown. :)
