Adventures with Aunt Madison

My 16 year old sister, Madison, flew home with us from Texas and spent a week with us! It was so much fun having her around and of course....the kids LOVED spending time with her!! She even kept both of them for a couple of days when I had to work.



While she was here, we took her out for some Tahoe time.....hiking, beaching, fishing, canoeing.

Here we are hiking Shakespeare Rock.


My little rock climber.....he is fearless!

This looks scarier than it actually was.


It took us over an hour to make it to the top! This was once considered an easy, quick hike in our pre-parenting days. Now this hike took much longer, seemed more difficult, and included whining-control and many rest stops for Owen. But overall, he did awesome.

But the amazing view was worth it. And we had a picnic on top.

Flying baby.....


Super Owen!


Then we headed down to the beach to cool off and relax.

Micah, Owen and Madison jumping off rocks.


Squishy face
Apparently the hike wore Adler out too. What a life.....napping on the beach.


Micah took Madison out on her first fishing experience at Spooner Lake. Beginners luck....she caught 3 fish!

On the last night she was here we had a little photo shoot to get some pictures of the two of us for our dad's birthday.

We miss you Madison! Come back soon!
