LAKE TAHOE - The Wild Wild WEST 2009

FAMILY VACATION ~ Summer 2009

We try to make it out to the Wild Wild West when we can. Our last Family Reunion was in 2007 at Sun Valley, ID. This year Jami & Brian invited us to join them at Lake Tahoe. It was a great & memorable 2 weeks with cousins, aunts & uncles, and lots of sunshine. (Captions on top of pictures...and there are a LOT of pics)

We flew into Reno, NV and stayed with Jami & Brian for a few days

What a great set of posts! Thanks for letting me vacation vicariously through your photos. I had an especially good chuckle at the Holy Ghost player piano and the polygamist hairdos. And way to get back up on the water skis! Glad you had fun and glad to have you back.

Love you tons sis......Just remember you are only old if you can't get up on skis.....Mom did it when she was 50? Right? Weren't we in Georgia? Well, either way you are AMAZING!
