Now that swim lessons and garden camp are all over, we have moved on to other activities….
Such as a weekend in Lake Tahoe.
Eating crepes from food trucks in the park.
Coloring. Lots of coloring. Thankfully it (mostly) hasn’t been on faces.
Practicing martial arts.
And taking care of the pups.
Of course, I’m drinking a few of these ginger, pear, pineapple cocktails along the way but you have to check out the post to see the pictures.

WHAT? Get yeeself to a crepe shop ASAP: whipped cream, banana, nutella on a thin, sweet, almost pancake like piece of heaven.
It’s like a flat pancake but better and they are filled with stuff. Can get sweet or savory fillings. I suggest you find a crepe place and try them. They can be awesome.

Good to know that the coloring is mostly on the paper. That’s a good place for coloring
Love that your oldest is teaching her sister martial arts. Such a good big sister

Mostly is the key word. She still likes to put a line or two on her arms and face when I’m not looking.
Aw, I love the taking care of the pups pic…SO cute!!
What a fun week you had

Sometimes I think the stuffed animals get better care than the real animals.

I realize Hayley might be the one, formally, in martial arts classes, but Layla looks like she has some pop behind her punches.

Also, if Leila finds out that she can wear a tutu for martial arts training, I’ll have a ninja on my hands.

Love these! I may use our face-painting adventure from today for my next EON post!

Thank you for joining us!
It seems like so many people I know (or know of) are visiting Lake Tahoe this summer. My 20 year high school reunion is happening this weekend. I didn’t want to go, but seeing pics is giving me little twinges…
Your summer sounds like it’s been a blast! I adore that last photo! Was it taking at your house? I ask because I know you mentioned lighting being an issue.
I don’t know if God exists, but if he does, he gave us Lake Tahoe. It is SO gorgeous there, especially during the summer.
