Mini Golf and Pine Cones

To finish out our time in Tahoe, we found a couple of interesting things to do.

Feeling like doing something meditative? How about piling all the giant pine cones in backyard into one big pile to freak out the squirrels. That's what Mom and Dexter did.

Mini golf!

Life is good out on the back nine.

We'll see you later Tahoe.

 

Kayaking

We decided to check out the lake on Kayaks!

We rented some kayaks from Sand Harbor Beach and headed south along the east shore of the lake. 

The kids were unreliably helpful.

First we stopped at Chimney Beach.

Finally, after a lot of rowing we decided not to go to go to Secret Cove Beach which seemed to be the location of a Covid nude beach party. Instead, we continued to the more mellow Secret Harbor Beach. It was nice here except for some very aggressive yellow jackets.

The kids didn't dare come out of the water with the yellow jackets buzzing.

It was pretty though!

The long trek back.

 

A Tahoe Finale

The end of summer had arrived and we decided to spend the last few days before the new school year in Tahoe. Fires are raging in California, so we were nervous that the trip wouldn't work out, but it was pretty clear and not super smokey.
