Isaac & Meg: Osterloh Family Trip to Tahoe Day 1-5

A couple weeks ago we took a family trip to Lake Tahoe. Sadly, Isaac was very busy at work and wasn't able to take the time off so Daphne and I went with out him. As sad as it was not to have Isaac there, Daphne and I really enjoyed our time by the lake in the sun. If you remember from my previous post from when Isaac, Daphne and I went to Northern California, Daphne had a rough bout with car sickness. Well this time around it happened in the first hour of our car ride and once more in Wendover. Ugh, cleaning up throw up is THE worst. Luckily it wasn't too bad and I came VERY prepared this time, I just felt bad for poor Daph. But luckily she did great the rest of the trip, phew!

After many bathroom brakes (thank you pregnancy) and a flat tire, we finally made it to Tahoe. Our condo that we rented for the week was right near the lake and had the most beautiful view with a fun beach as well. After unloading the car and taking a trip down to check out the beach we were all starving, so Rachel and my mom picked up some Taco Bell for everyone (call us crazy, but it's my
family's favorite).

the struggle's real people

The next day was Sunday so we got ready and headed to church, Daphne always loves church with all the Aunties, so much more exciting. Afterwards, we headed home to change and went for a hike to a look out point above King's Beach with some of our California cousins. I am always amazed of how beautifully blue Lake Tahoe is. After MANY pictures with cousins and everyone we headed down to check out the place my Grandma and Bob were staying in. It was the cutest little place RIGHT on the beach with a gorgeous view. That night we had dinner back at our place with everyone and enjoyed the tastiest pork tenderloin and garlic noodles on the back patio. Also, Katie came back from Patagonia and met us in Tahoe! It was so fun to have all the sisters together!

Sheesh, try and relax a little Daphne

this may be one of my favorites

just a bunch of goof balls

Monday morning we headed to the beach! Daphne LOVES playing in the sand and could be outside ALL day long. It was SO windy that day so my mom, dad and some of the sisters got the Hobie Cat out for some good sailing. The winds were really howlin' so they were able to get some great sailing in. We hung out at the beach all day, and some of us paid for it severely (luckily Daphne and I were spared, thank you sunscreen).

we may or may not have been attacked by some teenage ducks, one actually nibbled on my toe!

Tuesday was also spent at the beach with more high winds and great sailing. Later that day, more cousins came and we got some really fun family pictures. We don't hardly see our aunts, uncles and cousins from California so it's always a party when we all get together.

as you can only imagine, this didn't end well

Wednesday we headed to the Nevada side of the lake to Sand Harbor Beach, one of our favorites. The sand is so nice and the water is so clear that you feel like you are in the Caribbean. We swam in the lake, paddle boarded out to the rocks, enjoyed the beach and ate some delicious soft serve ice cream from a restaurant right on the beach. After the beach we headed home to enjoy a delicious home cooked dinner and played a very intense game of 313.
