John and Kristen and boys drove to our house last night for a visit. We had a BBQ for dinner, took them to Yogurt Beach, and played Dominion. Fun night! Then this morning we left bright and early (8:00) for Sand Harbor, but due to a few stops along the way (donuts and to check out our house) we didn’t get up to the lake until 9:45ish. And usually that would be totally fine, but because of the hot temperatures (105) in Reno, I think everyone had the same idea as we did. Cars were lined up and at a dead stop for at least a mile down the road from Sand Harbor. We knew there was no way we were getting in. And sure enough, they closed the parking lot just a few cars ahead of us. So frustrating! So, we initiated Plan B – Dan called a dentist he works with whose family owns a house in Incline and had mentioned before to Dan that we could use their private beach. Dan’s friend gave us directions to the beach and the gate code, and our spirits were renewed! The beach was awesome. There was hardly anyone there, so we weren’t fighting the crowds, and it was so quiet and peaceful. It was along this stretch of the lake where all the houses are at least $10 million, and they all have these private docks with their boats and jet skies and other fun toys. It was fun to pretend that we belonged there. Haha. It was definitely a great spot, and made for a fun and relaxing day at the lake!
Kate’s first dip in the lake! Poor girl, she did not like it very much. Too cold! Cole didn’t like it either.
She didn’t mind it so much the second time!
Love her cute little toes in the sand!
