Scooter Boy

Watch out...

 He moves like lightning down sidewalks...

 ...he manages to escape death daily...

...he's scooter boy!

Lucasfilm Picnic

Time for the annual (and hopefully not last) Lucas Film picnic.  We finally figured out our picnic routine.  First we head to the swimming pool, then head over for lunch, check out the games and ice cream and head home.  Not a bad way to spend the day.

Welcome!

Maya walks with Dexter and our friend, Scarlett.

Cute!!

Happy girl.

Happy boy.

Lunch!

Dexter's favorite: Firetruck!!

Skywalker Ranch, you can't beat it.

First Lost Tooth

Daddy took Maya and Dexter on a bike ride and something amazing happened...

A rest from the trail.

Nice view!

The boys.

Maya yanked out her very loose tooth after it was reduced to hanging by a thread in the car.  Her first post tooth shot. 

 Admiring her tooth in a bag.

Back Home

There was plenty to do once we got back home...

 There were horses to ride.

Castles to conquer.

Sushi to be eaten...

...including Mayas favorite, Salmon Roe (aka fish eggs).

Barfing to be done.  No, it's not related to the fish eggs.  Dexter got sick on the day we were returning home from Tahoe and Maya got it soon after.

Wagons to pull.

Babysitters to love.

First tooth to get loose.

"Moments from Tahoe" video

A bit of fun on video...

More Lake Adventures

Sadly, Coco, Nate, and Viv had to head off to a wedding, but we had no trouble keeping ourselves occupied on our last days at the lake. 

 A boat trip up to Emerald Bay.

Santi is mad about rootbeer.

Dexter has no trouble eating and driving.

The emerald waters invite us into Emerald Bay.

Beautiful.

Walk with Marimar...

...and Kiki.

Hot tubbing.

Last evening with the cousins.

Biking and Boating

After Todd left, the rest of the family kept busy in Tahoe.

 We rented bikes and rode along the Truckee River.  Nate towing cousins.

 The cousins.

 Maya and Momma going tandem.

 Pop rented a boat and Maya was happy to take the helm on a nice afternoon cruise.

 It's a little windy and chilly out there.

 Dudes in the front.

Dudes and dudettes in the back.

Jogging and Hiking

Todd had to leave early to go back to work, but we had fun in the last 24 hours with him...

 Mom and Dad jogging which involved a lot of walking because Mom was involved.

A balcony like this requires strange kid performances.

Hiking around this little lake in Nevada.

A trail perfect for pregnant chicks...

...and kiddos.

Looking for treasures to keep in their bags.

Dexter's artistry comes through in one of his first recognizable smiley faces.

Family photos...

On the rare occasion of having the whole family together, we decided photos were in order...

 The family.

The one and only shot of this group that wasn't total chaos. Viv couldn't be convinced to be in the shot at all.

And Then There Were More

More fun with the cousins.

 Hello from Dex.

Vivi having fun.

Santi!

Then there were grown-ups.

Dance crew.

 Beach crew.

 Tahoe life!

 Vivi and her daddio.

 Time to grab the nose.

 Pano.

Sharing treasures.

So many littles.

Looking fancy.

Coco and cuzzies.
