Lake Tahoe - Tuesday

Justin and I took our first family vacation with my sweet Jaybird!
Monday's post is ----> here

We spent Tuesday taking her around to all the different locations that Justin and his family would visit when they would travel to Lake Tahoe. We took her to see Donner Park at the beginning of the day. She was very excited to be able to cross into California for the first time.

We walked through the museum first and let her read about the Donner party before we did the walking tour outside. She got to read from the pamphlet while we walked around to the different stopping points on the tour. 

I'm glad that she understands what to do when we need to take social media appropriate pictures!

 
After Donner Park, I saw that the Bass shoe store was having a sale.... so we may have stopped so I could get some new shoes for Jaybird and I :) We drove into Truckee and found a Round Table Pizza for Justin. She kept asking if there was going to be dessert pizza because the pizza buffet we go to have it. She did find their cinnamon twists and decided that those were an acceptable substitute for dessert pizza.
We found this really cool hands on museum in Truckee and got her excited to go!

They had a plane that the kids could pretend to fly

They also had a hot air balloon

and some butterfly wings that I couldn't fit into

 

Sexy and yes those are stuffed animal guinea pigs

Yes I can play maracas!

I'm sitting on a tiny log cooking fake fish.. the things you do for your child

 After the children's museum we went to 7-11 for a snack... It was her first time there so we introduced her to Slurpee's! She is in love and asks for them all the time now! We drove to Squaw Valley and showed her around, amongst all the skiers. I wanted to recreate some of the pictures we took on our honeymoon while we were in Lake Tahoe.

Close enough!


 We drove back to Lake Tahoe and showed her "Fanny Bridge" and the ducks

Apparently I didn't take any social media friendly ones of her on the bridge.. but it's called Fanny Bridge for a reason... Look at all the previous pictures of her on the bridge and imagine that all the way across the bridge!

Then we walked down to a different part of the beach and walked to the park on the beach.

Her sticks name is "Bob"

After the park we walked back to our car, headed back to the house, and ate dinner. After dinner we very impatiently waiting for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive at the house. All over a very good, busy, and tiring day :)
