Finally Lake Tahoe Revealed

Henry and Lake Tahoe are like peas in a pod. Henry and I arrived early and left late to get used to the time change, so we had plenty of time to relax. We stayed in a condo right on the beach, so every morning we woke up to sounds of the small waves on the lake and an incredible view. Lake Tahoe has such a unique landscape with enormous mountain ranges encircling the entire lake. There are something like 11 ski resorts in the area and we had fun going to the resort villages wishing we could buy everything in the high end ski stores. Henry, my Dad, Teri, and I hung out together the whole time. We also had fun hanging out with the other cousins and aunts and uncles. Henry took particular attachment to my uncle Grant, whom he called "Grandpa" the entire time. He loved it over at their place with all the toys and especially the train set. I think I'm going to have to get a train set for him for either Christmas or his Birthday. He liked it so much, in fact, that he wouldn't eat meals and by the end of the day he was so starving that he would finally eat massive amounts of dinner. Our favorite thing to eat was Judy's home-made wheat bread or pancakes in the morning. Ya-hum! Henry also had a fabulous time with his cousin Wil and my youngest cousin Markie. They frequently hung out together on the beach catching crawdads, digging in the sand, and climbing on rocks. I also had a great time hanging out with my cousin Liz. We shared philosophies on life and it seemed like we were very much alike!

Just like when we went to DC for Easter this year and his signing exploded, his vocabulary exploded on our trip and it hasn't stopped. He continuously learns new words and always tries to say everything no matter how difficult, which is consistent with his "no fear" outlook on life. That's our boy!
