I'm Back!

Hello friends! It has been a very long time since the last time I posted, and I'd like to blame it on summer. Once the sunshine started to heat up Tahoe, I have been going like a crazy woman trying to fit as much into my days as I can. And sadly, my poor little blog was pushed to the side.

But no more! I am back!

Here is a little recap of the last month - 

About a month ago was the closing day of Squaw Valley. Every year they host a pond skimming event, where skiers who signed up dress up in a crazy costume and try to make it all the way across a pond on their skis without crashing. And if that doesn't seem hard enough, everyone who is watching is throwing snowballs at them. The winner made it down the mountain and across the pond on skis while dressed as a chef holding an actual grill cooking burgers on it. Impressive, no?

We had a huge group of friends barbecuing in the sun watching it after one last day of skiing.

Since then, the weather warmed up and beach time began. Since I live one minute from the lake, I have been going before work, after work and on pretty much every day off. Love it!

Volleyball has begun again, and although I lost every bit of skill I gained last year, I'm hoping they can make a dramatic comeback by July.

I did a four hour hike up and around Squaw with two girls and one crazy mama who forged through snowy terrain with a thirty pound pack on her (and was less sore the next day than I was might I add). It was worth it for the amazing views at the top and great girl talk.

One of us may have passed out on the way back from too much apple juice, singing the ABC's and chillin' with his lion friend Judah.

We had one rainy evening finally, so I sat outside and enjoyed it with a glass of wine.

Softball games were watched (I hear #49 is the best player)

We also have become expert grillers.

We also got to roadtrip to Vegas, where I was the maid of honor in my beautiful friend's wedding. Such a great time, beautiful ceremony, and fun with friends.

Also, whoever came up with the idea of a pina colada cup with a spray bottle built in should win some sort of "Greatness" prize. Just sayin.

(and no I am not naked in the last photo, it just appears that way)

Anddd lastly our pool opened. This is where I am heading to right now and am finally going to start the Hunger Games. Yes, I know I am two years late with that.

Hope everyone else is enjoying their summer!
