Family Reunion in Tahoe =)

Yesterday we drove up to So. Lake Tahoe for my MIL's Family Reunion. They had it at Pope Beach. About 1/2 the way up there we started to get all too familiar sounds from DJ... *Gagging* "Mommy, need bowl" Poor little guy was getting car sick. So we pulled over and let him get some fresh air while I cleaned out his sippy and put fresh apple juice in it. About 10 miles down the windy road we hear "mommy, gotta pee" So we pull over and DJ gets shy and is trying to pee on the side of the road:

He cant go.. So we just decide to put a pull up on him since we are about 20 minutes away from our destination at Pope Beach. We finally get there and are greeted by the in laws. We get all of out beach stuff and head over. The kids were so excited to get their swim suits on and go play!

First off, DJ had to play baseball with daddy and papa George =)

Reagan went straight for the pail and shovel. She loves playing in the sand.
Wanting some juice..

We were greeted by some birds and DJ wanted to hit them with a bat.. They then started running after them...

DJ playing with a little girl and telling her what a "Tractor" does and how to use it.. lol

Kids playing in the sand =) They were having so much fun!

Me and peanut... 17 weeks (measuring a little ahead though)

He did not want to get rid of that tractor, he loves tractors.

George and Dorothy.. *papa George & Nana Rae*

Reagan wanted nothing to do with the water, She was more content playing in the sand and having people make her sand castles so she could stomp on them.. lol

Me and peanut, DJ and Nana Rae playing in the water! He would go out to about his armpits and then starts heading back.

He was shivering so bad but did NOT want to get out of the water.

Mad because we finally got him out of the water...

Eating their nummies and talking to each other on the walkie talkies =)

They had not napped all day and about 20 minutes into the drive home they were both out! DJ woke up when we got home but Reagan slept through getting her Jammies on and didn't wake up till 7am this morning.. lol

DJ's poor neck. He is always like this when he falls asleep in his seat...

Baby girl is a mess and passed out!

As for Dave and I, we both got pretty burnt.. But we all had a blast and DJ keeps asking to go back to the beach and play in the water =)
