Tahoe, Take Two

And the weekend continues... Posted by Picasa
Day two of our adventure began slowly with a yummy nutritious breakfast of fresh fruit, granola, and yogurt--thanks to Beth and...Kacy?--and terribly fattening Otis Spunkmeir muffins, thanks to me and ...Em? (I'll take the sole credit.) Leave it to me to talk about the food. Then Em and Colby then took us on a brisk (cool, not fast) morning hike a.k.a. walk down the road to the "beaver ponds"...the self timer photography officially began. Gorgeous scenery. After lunch we headed back into "town" for this fun afternoon at an old-fashion photo studio. I secretly have always wanted to do this with friends or family, but NO one has ever wanted to do it with me. Matt was soo glad when he heard I got this "out of my system" without him. The girls easily obliged me and I think we can all agree it was actually quite fun! Colby even saddled up for a photo with a cowboy hat, chaps and a gun. I won't incriminate the parents by posting the photo of the 8 mo. old with the gun in his hands, but it was a cute one. Sorry about the fuzziness of the photo--notice I'm not giving copyrights here--(digital cameras are amazing inventions...)

BTW--If you think these pictures are risk-ay, then you'd be shocked to see what they expected us to wear out of the dressing rooms, in front of any and all passerbyers, before the dresses and boas got put on. (The whole scenerio reminded me of freshman year at college...) It's not every day that you'll find 2 pastor's wives wearing fishnet stockings with shotguns and whiskey bottles in their hands--especially when one of them (not me) is 7 mo. knocked up!

Speaking of the pregnant saloon girl, when we got back to the cabin we had a nice little surprise shower for Kacy and her little baby girl to be. Nice homecooked (yeah right) dinner, and an evening of reminescing about college days, college classmates, soccer, Coach "Jim"--Big J and Little J-etc. We also FINALLY cleared the record on who all we kissed and DIDN'T kiss during college, and the official kissing whore was renamed. I'm glad that is finally out in the open!

Day 3, not much to be said. I hate goodbyes. It was hard to part our ways, but we'd had a good, well-needed weekend of reconnecting and sharing our new lives with each other. Let's just say I can't wait till Hawaii '07! I think the best part of the goodbye day was that I didn't have to say goodbye to Colby yet, and I didn't have to share him with all the rest of ya'll the next day, either.
Tahoe '05 goes down in the books with our first trip to Flyin' M and the parking meter night.
