A Quick Trip to Utah

My grandma Louine is turning 90 this month and last weekend the Shields family threw her a big party!  I wanted to attend, so I booked some flights and spent just over 24 hours in UT to celebrate!  It was great to see so many cousins, aunts, uncles, etc..... and especially Grandma Louine!  Grandma is still going strong!  She lives in her same home, doesn't want to miss a single party, trip or adventure.  In fact, she is flying to Toronto Canada next month to spend a week with my parents on their mission!  She is amazing and I hope I have that much energy when I'm 90!

Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe, CA

The views from Emerald Bay will never get old.  We made a quick pit stop to check them out when we were up at Tahoe.  The weather was surprisingly cold and windy!  But with the blue lake and blue skies it was hard to really tell.  Lake Tahoe sure is a beautiful place!

Lake Tahoe Hiking

We had a great hiking day with some of the Challis crew last weekend in Tahoe.  We explored a little of Tahoe City, then ended up hiking the Eagle Falls Trail.  We saw a couple waterfalls and had a great hike into the lake.  The views were amazing and the trail was great for the kiddos.  The weather was weird though, it was only in the 50's and there was a strong cold wind as well.  When we were driving back to Sacramento on Sunday night there was rain, slush and a little snow in the middle of June!  Crazy weather, but we still had a great time.
